HTTP ERROR: 404 missing core name in path with solr

Question

I am new to Solr, after installing it in ubuntu 8.10, when I was trying exampledocs to index , as per this link, I got this error:

HTTP ERROR: 404 m

Answer 1

In my case it was happening due to versioning.

Earlier I was using solr 1.4.1. It was running fine. Then I installed solr 3.6.1 and was getting this error.

A folder named solr is there in the tomcat/webapps directory where you generally put the solr.war file.

• Delete this solr folder
• Start tomcat

=> Problem is gone.
