Solr 4.4 / Tomcat 6 - DataImportHandler ClassNotFoundException

Solr 4.4 / Tomcat 6 - DataImportHandler ClassNotFoundException

I am trying to get solr running with tomcat. i had it working with jetty
on the same server and now i am moving it to tomcat.
i created a new dir structure for the tomcat version to separate from the
working jetty version
I have followed the tutorial I actually have a similar config working on a
different server.
I have read the other articles that mention copy all the libs especially
solr-dataimporthandler*jar and solr-dataimporthandler-extras*jar to the
dir /web/solr/collection2/conf/lib
i have edited /web/solr/collection2/conf/solrconfig.xml and added
<lib dir="/web/solr/collection2/conf/lib" />
BUT... when i try to start tomcat i get::
*10776 [coreLoadExecutor-3-thread-1] ERROR
org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer â Unable to create core: collection2
org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: RequestHandler init failure at
org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.(SolrCore.java:835)
Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: RequestHandler init
failure at
org.apache.solr.core.RequestHandlers.initHandlersFromConfig(RequestHandlers.java:167)
at org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore.(SolrCore.java:772)*
I have got to be missing something simple. Is there anything to make the
exception more meaningful or any other suggestions on how to debug this?
Thanks Randy
