Actually, I succeeded with tomcat a few days ago. There were several problems, 
mostly that the lsr sources didn't contain the necessary config files required 
to install the LSR withing tomcat... Sebastiano has been very helpful and very 
responsive, so things look a bit brighter now... Browsing and viewing snippets 
already works, searching doesn't work (including showing the search page), 
because I haven't built the search index yet:

Editing the snippets doesn't work yet, either, because I'm still fighting with 
ERW (first step was commenting out a browser check that was modern 6 years ago, 
but nowadays fails on basically all modern brosers...).

It actually took me a bit longer to figure out which parts I was missing  and 
how I have to set up things... But for future installations of LSR I'm jotting 
down all the steps I'm doing when setting up the LSR locally, so other 
installations will be way easier:
