: Also, the jetty log only logs web server activities, not solr : activities. Is there a way to configure solr to log to a file?
Solr logs LogRecords to a Java Logging Logger -- the servlet container controls where those LogRecords go. I'm really not sure how you are running Jety, but when i go to the stock "example" directory that comes with Solr 1.2, and type "java -jar start.jar" I see all of the Solr log messages written to my console via Jetty's STDERR ... if you leave the jetty.xml file alone, and run jetty in the same way (java -jar start.jar), do you see the Solr log messages? if not, then i'm not sure what is going on. if you do: then how is this differnet from what you've been doing where you don't get any messages? (i'm not a jetty expert, i can't give you any particular advice on log configuration in jetty, i just know that the sample jetty configs we've got log everything to STDERR) -Hoss
