Please, as I already explained, don't attach binary files. You're 
obviously using forum.typo3.org which (unfortunately) allows you to 
attach files. It means a lot of traffic for the people who subscribe to 
the mailing lists and those who read the posts via newsgroups only see 
something like I quoted above (only waaaay longer).
Best way is to put your images or other files somewhere on a server and 
only provide a link in your post.

The usual steps to make EXT:solr work are:

1. Install solr server
2. Create cores
3. Restart tomcat
4. Install EXT:solr extension
5. Put the plug-in on a page
6. Include static TypoScript template(s)
7. Configure TypoScript for your installation
8. Initialize Solr connections (in the clear cache menu)
9. Use Admin Tools > Search to initialize the index queueus
10. Configure and run the Scheduler task(s)

Whenever I have to change the TypoScript configuration for solr in a way 
which influences the indexing I repeat steps 9 and 10.
