Solr configuration using Tomcat

I have installed Solr by following these instructions.

Tomcat is running fine, because: 

sudo service tomcat6 status 
 * Tomcat servlet engine is running with pid 12865

When I am navigating to Solr on my browser using my public DNS and 8080 port, there is nothing.

Am I missing any steps? What I am doing wrong?

I got this error in Tomcat log:

SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Cannot create directory: /var/lib/tomcat6/solr/data/index

Check that the owner of /var/lib/tomcat6/solr is Tomcat.

Before trying to access Solr admin page, you should first check if Tomcat is running ok by access http://localhost:8080

If you are not able to see that page, it means Tomcat is not running at all, then

1) First checking your Java JDK is installed, also the correct one is being used.

sudo bash
which java

if the output is not the one you want to run tomcat, then do

export PATH=/path/to/your/jdk;$PATH

Now do which java to see if the correct one is being used.

2) Shut down tomcat if it's still running

ps -ef | grep tomcat
/path/to/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh

Then start it by doing

/path/to/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

Now try to access http://localhost:8080

If you can access Tomcat now, then follow the other steps to install solr from http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/solr_ubuntu.html

Make sure that you have write privilege on /var/lib/tomcat6/solr/data/ directory.
