The path in the error message is wrong. See SOLR-5814. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5814 Is there anything in the log before this message? You will need to find the actual solr logfile ... because you used tomcat and not the jetty included with Solr, I cannot tell you where this logfile is, although if you copied the logging jars and the logging config from the example, it will be logs\solr.log, relative to the current working directory of the process that started tomcat. A side note: Windows 8 is a client operating system. Microsoft has crippled their client operating systems in some way compared to their server operating systems. Heavy multi-threaded server workloads like Solr will not work as well. I don't know exactly what the differences are. If you really want to run Solr on a Windows system, you really should put it on Server 2012, not Windows 8. Unfortunately, their server operating systems have a rather high price tag. It will be the opinion of most people here that you and your pocketbook would be far happier with the results of running on Linux -- better performance and no cost. Thanks, Shawn
