Issue with jetty: When you start the jetty server by running start.jar, just look at the logs to verify whether jetty has started successfully or not. At times, the port you are using to start jetty(in your case 8983) could be used by some other apps, which can cause issues in start up. 2. Details are provided step by step in the wiki as mentioned by eric: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat But I hope following points can be of some help in debugging issues with Tomcat installation: :: Configure Tomcat to recognise the solr home directory you created, by adding the Java Option -Dsolr.solr.home=c:\web\solr :: Also, you can easily debug the root cause of problem by looking into catalina.out file under logs folder of your tomcat installation.
