Solr RequestHandler init failure

I seem to be having problems getting solr up and running, I followed the guide here

http://andres.jaimes.net/878/setup-lucene-solr-centos-tomcat/

All went well, but now I'm trying to import data from mysql. To do this I have been following this guide

http://www.wheelsandcogs.co.uk/2011/01/13/solr-tomcat-mysql-ubuntu/

The error comes when I add this to my solrconfig.xml

<requestHandler name="/dataimport" class="org.apache.solr.handler.dataimport.DataImportHandler">
  <lst name="defaults">
    <str name="config">data-config.xml</str>
  </lst>
</requestHandler>

This is the error I get. If I remove this, solr runs fine but of course I cannot import from mysql.

I am running Centos, hence using the first guide to get solr up and running. The 2nd guide is for Ubuntu, there is a step near the beginning about installing the JDBC, I am not sure if I did it right.. I'm wondering if this may be part of the problem.

It turns out I made a stupid mistake.

The tutorial above http://andres.jaimes.net/878/setup-lucene-solr-centos-tomcat/

Instructs us to copy

example/solr/ 

to

/home/solr

Except, this particular example provided by solr does not contain the necessary files to handle dataimports.

To fix this:

1) Create a 'lib' folder in your solr instance (/home/solr/lib)

2) From the folder where you downloaded solr to, copy /dist/solr-dataimporthandler-x.x.x.jar and solr-dataimporthandler-extras-x.x.x.jar. Paste both into your newly created lib folder.

Also ensure you have mysql-connector-java.jar in this folder if you haven't already.

3) Restart the server.
