How to run share in a separate tomcat instance

[kriton]

I am using alfresco 4.0b community installed using the default options of the windows installer.

I' ve tried following this guidelines: http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Ftasks%2Fshare-tomcat-d... but that seems to be the mothod for different versions.

I am following the steps literraly and share does start, but it doesnt work right. In all circumstances where solr would be called (search, favorites, some dahslets for example) I get errors as if sth is missing from the configuration.

Any ideas ?

Those instructions applies to when you try to run a separate tomcat instance for share on the same server. Is that what you want to do?
Else just install on two different servers, remove share.war from one, and then alfresco.war on the other. On the server with only share.war you need to configure the server name for the alfresco server in share-config-custom.xml, look in the sample file how to do.

Well, I am running them on the same server… Anyway I don't really know what I was doing wrong the fist time, I tried it again it worked all good. My only only problem is that .jar libs I place in tomcat/shared/lib folder of the original alfresco tomcat are not visible to share anymore. Is there any way to get around with this ? Or is the only solution to just copy them in the share.war or its exploded folders as well ?
