What is the exception stack trace? The link looks good and works for Solr4.x

There was a note on that page saying: Solr4.3 <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solr4.3>requires completely different deployment. These instructions are*not*current and are for an indeterminate version of Solr. I haven't read the instructions in detail, but in my experience setting up a single standalone server goes like this: copy solr.war to the tomcat/webapps folder, logging jars (log4j, slf4j) and configuration (log4j.properties) to the tomcat/lib folder you can create your solr home directory directly in the tomcat folder -- if you do that, it should be found, or you can put it somewhere else and start the jvm with -Dsolr.solr.home=/wherever/you/put/solr that's pretty much it, I think. You will see the solr admin at http://localhost:8080/solr if you use all vanilla settings. -Mike
