This is step 1 of setting up Solr 3.6 in Enterprise Server 9.0 or 9.1 (see a list of all steps.) When using Enterprise Server 9.2 or higher, see Setting up Solr 4.5.
On Mac OS X
Step 1. Download the Apache Tomcat 7.x Binary Distribution file.
Step 2. Unpack the file to an installation directory, for example \Applications\Tomcat.
Note: From here on, this installation directory is referenced as <tomcat>.
Step 3. Edit the <tomcat>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file to:
<xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="standard"/>
<user username="woodwing" password="ww" roles="standard,manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>
Note: The user specified in “username” is needed to manage Tomcat; it is not an Enterprise user).
Step 4. Edit the <tomcat>/conf/server.xml file to:
<Service name="Catalina”>
<!--Comments ........ -->
<Connector URIEncoding="UTF-8" port="8787" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
Note: In case the URIEncoding is already set in your file, make sure that its value is set to 'UTF-8'.
Step 5. Download Apache Solr 3.6.
Step 6. Unpack the file to a temporary directory.
Note: From here on, this directory is referenced as <temp>.
Step 7. Copy the file apache-solr-3.6.x.war from <temp>/dist/ to <tomcat>/webapps/.
Tip: For ease of use, the file can be renamed to solr.war.
Step 8. Copy <temp>/example/solr to the installation directory \Application\Solr.
Note: From here on, this directory is referenced as <solr>.
On Windows
Step 1. Download the Java Virtual Machine 6.0.
Step 2. Download and install the Apache Tomcat 7.x Windows Service Installer.
Note: From here on, this installation is referenced as <tomcat>.
Step 3. Edit the <tomcat>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file to:
<xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="standard"/>
<user username="woodwing" password="ww" roles="standard,manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>
Note: The user specified in “username” is needed to manage Tomcat; it is not an Enterprise user.
Step 4. Edit the <tomcat>/conf/server.xml file to:
<Service name="Catalina”>
<!--Comments ........ -->
<Connector URIEncoding="UTF-8" port="8787" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
Note: In case the URIEncoding is already set in your file, make sure that its value is set to 'UTF-8'.
Step 5. Download Apache Solr 3.6.
Step 6. Unpack the file to a temporary directory.
Note: From here on, this directory is referenced as <temp>.
Step 7. Copy the file apache-solr.war from <temp>/dist/ to <tomcat>/webapps/.
Tip: For ease of use, the file can be renamed to solr.war.
Step 8. Copy <temp>/example/solr to the installation directory C:\Solr.
Note: From here on, this directory is referenced as <solr>.
Step 9. Use the System Tray icon to configure Tomcat (Configure > Java) so that it starts with the following Java option:
-Dsolr.solr.home=<solr>
On Linux
Step 1. Download the Apache Tomcat 7.x Binary Distribution file.
Step 2. Unpack the file to an installation directory, for example \Applications\Tomcat.
Note: From here on, this installation directory is referenced as <tomcat>.
Step 3. Edit the <tomcat>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file to:
<xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="standard"/>
<user username="woodwing" password="ww" roles="standard,manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>

Step 5. Download Apache Solr 3.6.
Step 6. Unpack the file to a temporary directory.
Note: From here on, this directory is referenced as <temp>.
Step 7. Copy the file apache-solr-3.6.x.war from <temp>/dist/ to <tomcat>/webapps/.
Tip: For ease of use, the file can be renamed to solr.war.
Step 8. Copy <temp>/example/solr to the installation directory, for example \opt\Solr.
Note: From here on, this directory is referenced as <solr>.
