I have to install Solr on my Ubuntu Server. However, Solr wont work without Tomcat or another container, and also Java.

I have successfully installed tomcat6 and java.

BUT, in a tomcat6 guide online, it says I should configure iptables to allow connections via port 8080, which I have done. Then the guide says I can test the tomcat6 by going to:

  http://my_ip_adress:8080

But this makes the browser just load and wait somehow for a response, and finally display "website not available".

I have NO clue how to install Solr with Tomcat. Does anybody know how?

How do I know Tomcat6 works?

BTW: When I do this: /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start then it says OK.

If you need something let me know, I really need help with this one.

Thanks

UPDATE:

When executing this: sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 status it respons is Tomcat servlet engine is running with pid 28641
