How to change base path of Solr example?

Question

I've followed the Solr tutorial, but the URL they make you use is:

http://localhost:8983/solr/ 

What is the most simple way to change this URL to:

http://localhost:8983/foobar/

Answer 1

I think I figured it out myself. What I did was, inside the example directory, rename

webapps/solr.war

to

webapps/foobar.war

Also, I changed a line in solr/conf/scripts.conf to

webapp_name=foobar

Answer 2

If you are running Solr with Jetty, you can change it in webdefault.xml. Detailed instructions here
