The point that these guys are trying to make is that if another program is using the port that Solr is trying to bind to then they will both fight over the exclusive use of the port.
Both the netstat and lsof command work fine on my Mac (Leopard 10.5.8). Trinity:~ kelvin$ which netstat /usr/sbin/netstat Trinity:~ kelvin$ which lsof /usr/sbin/lsof Trinity:~ kelvin$ If you use MacPorts, you can also find out port information using 'nmap'. If something is already using the port Solr is trying to use then you need to configure Solr to use a different port.
