: I am using the same folder to start solr/ jetty on many local machines : running same version of linux.
if the same solr + jetty + solr.solr.home combination is working for you on other machines, then i don't think anyone here can really help you -- sounds like the problem isn't related to Solr, or Jetty. wild shots in the dark: * different java versions? * different file permissions? -Hoss
