<assumption>Am pretty sure solr.xml is if you want to define multiple solr cores for your application.So it makes sense that solr checks for that first, however if it doesn't find one it continues to start up with a single core. </assumption>
I KNOW it runs just fine for me without a solr.xml. The exception seems to be complaining about Xpath. Etiher this means that you have a weird xml library on your classpath somewhere (unlikely but check it, Xalan/Xerces seems to be the most common) or tomcat/solr doesn't have the rights it needs to access the solr folder. What rights did you give the solr folder and all the files in there ?
