Make it clear that BOA provides Apache Solr 1.4 with Tomcat 6 and update the SOLR how-to

this server is a staging server.. it is all on localhost of the machine in question.

I first tested locally on OS X using Solr installed via homebrew, and applying the d7 config as per the search_api_solr instructions.

Then I ran BOA update on barracuda stable to add solr support.

I then edited the solr config on the barracuda server to copy the settings as per search_api_solr, I'm using the same config on both my mac and the barracuda server, but I'm unable to connect to the barracuda instance from the site that is on the barracuda server

Yes I've followed the instructions listed in the SOLR.txt file you linked to, however I'm using the search_api_solr module instead of apachesolr, and it seems the search_api_solr modules config files are trying to access files in directories that are's in the same place in relation to the site config's.. eg:

http://drupalcode.org/project/search_api_solr.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/...

<!-- A dir option by itself adds any files found in the directory to
       the classpath, this is useful for including all jars in a
       directory.
    -->
  <lib dir="../../contrib/extraction/lib" />
  <lib dir="../../contrib/clustering/lib/" />

I haven't been able to find these directories either to update the config with the aim of getting it working
