: follow a receipe. So I went to the the solr site, downloaded solr and : tried to follow the tutorial. In the "example" folder of solr, using : "java -jar start.jar " I got: : : 2011-07-04 13:22:38.439:INFO::Logging to STDERR via org.mortbay.log.StdErrLog : 2011-07-04 13:22:38.893:INFO::jetty-6.1-SNAPSHOT : 2011-07-04 13:22:38.946:INFO::Started SocketConnector@0.0.0.0:8983
if that is everything you got in the logs, then i suspect: a) you download a source release (ie: has "*-src-*" in it's name) in which the solr.war app has not yet been compiled) b) you did not run "ant example" to build solr and setup the example instance. If i'm wrong, then yes please more details would be helpful: what exact URL did you download? -Hoss
