: I tried to debug the issue by runing start.jar in eclipse debuger and : found that the root of the issue was that the jetty.home system property : was not set. If I set the jetty.home property then the server starts : properly.
Hmmmm, weird ... that still doesn't really make much sense. The jetty.home property isn't required by Jetty (or solr). if it's unset, it defaults to the current working directory. : I am new to solr. I have downloaded the solr 3.3.0 distribution and tryign to run it using java -jar start.jar from the apache-solr-3.3.0\example directory (start.jar is present here). But I am getting following error on running this command: : : C:\downloads\apache-solr-3.3.0\apache-solr-3.3.0\example>java -jar start.jar java.lang.NullPointerException : at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:222) : at org.mortbay.start.Main.init(Main.java:465) : at org.mortbay.start.Main.start(Main.java:439) : at org.mortbay.start.Main.main(Main.java:119) : : Could someone help me in resolving this issue. -Hoss
