Problem starting solr on jetty

Hi,

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.

Thanks & Regards
Anand Nigam

Hi All,

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.

Thanks,
Anand

Hi Anand,

Someone else reported this exact same error with Solr v1.4.0: http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/fd5b83f3595a1c6c/can_t_start_solr_by_java_jar_start_jar

I downloaded the apache-solr-3.3.0.zip, unpacked it, then ran 'java -jar start.jar' from the cmdline.  It worked.  (Windows 7; Oracle Java 1.6.0_23).

I tried to reproduce the error you're seeing, by making the example\ directory and all its contents read-only (different exception: FileNotFound), and by removing the entire contents of the example\ directory except for start.jar (nothing happens - it just quits without printing anything out).

Can you give more details about your environment?

Steve

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.
