I'm going to add a note to http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrLogging ,
with the Tomcat sample "Error filterStart" error, as an example of
something you might see if you have not set up logging.
Then at least in the future, googling "solr tomcat error filterStart"
might lead someone to the clue that it might be logging.

I am trying to get Solr installed in Tomcat, and having trouble.
When I start up tomcat, I get in the Tomcat log:
INFO: Deploying web application archive solr.war
May 29, 2013 3:59:40 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error filterStart
May 29, 2013 3:59:40 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/solr] startup failed due to previous errors
I've tried to google for advice on this -- mostly what I found was
suggestions for how to turn up logging to get more info
In a cruel twist of fate, it is actually logging changes that are
preventing Solr from starting. The required steps for deploying 4.3
changed. I will update the wiki page about tomcat when I'm not on a train.
See this page for additional instructions, specifically the section about
deploying on containers other than jetty:
