Description

I installed Apache Solr, version 4.7.0. As part of the install, I performed the following:
(Based on these instructions: http://sachkadam.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/solr-installation-on-centos-6/) -> The summary is as follows:

• I moved the "/example/solr" directory to /opt/solr.
• I created a "solr.xml" file with contains the following xml code:

1. more solr.xml

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<Context docBase=”/opt/solr/solr-4.7.0.war” debug=”0″ crossContext=”true”>
<Environment name=”solr/home” type=”java.lang.String” value=”/opt/solr” override=”true”/>
</Context>

The "solr.xml" file is located in: /usr/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.52/conf/Catalina/localhost

**When I try to access solr through the following URL: http://107.170.94.202:8983, I receive the following error:

I also tried checking if Apache Solr was running through the following URL:
http://107.170.94.202:8080/solr

But I receive the following error message:
—
HTTP Status 404 - /solr

type Status report

message /solr

description The requested resource is not available.

If you could share your expertise and let me know how I may resolve this issue it is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to your response.
