In the Solr home location, you'll want to have a solr.xml file for Solr itself. The xnl file that you already created was for tomcat, not Solr. You should find a an xml file that's a suitable starting point in the download, in example/solr. This is the Solr home for the example when it is started with "java -jar start.jar". When Solr doesn't have a solr.xml file, it goes to single core mode. This mode will likely be eliminated in version 5.0. I do not recommend it, but if you want to run in single core mode, you'll need to put solrconfig.xml and schema.xml in collection1/conf, not collection1. The messages that get logged are misleading.
