: My logs don't look anything like that. They look like HTTP : requests. Am I looking in the wrong place?
what servlet container are you using? every servlet container handles applications logs differently -- it's especially tricky becuse even the format can be changed, the examples i gave before are in the default format you get if you use the jetty setup in the solr example (which logs to stdout), but many servlet containers won't include that much detail by default (they typically leave out the classname and method name). there's also typically a setting that controls the verbosity -- so in some configurations only the SEVERE messages are logged and in others the INFO messages are logged ... you're going to want at least the INFO level to debug stuff. grep all the log files you can find for "Solr home set to" ... that's one of the first messages Solr logs. if you can find that, you'll find the other messages i was talking about. -Hoss
