Please elaborate on how exactly you pointed tomcat at your solr/home. you mentioned "system property" but when using system properties to set the Solr Home" you wnat to set "solr.solr.home" .. "solr/home" is the JNDI variable name used as an alternative. if you look at the logging when solr first starts up, you should ese several messages about how/where it's trying to locate the Solr Home Dir ... please double check that it's finding the one you intended. Please give us more details about those log messages related to the solr home dir, as well as how you are trying to set it, and what your directory structure looks like in tomcat.
