And the XML is valid, lib references in solrconfig.xml point to the right libraries (if any), you don't have duplicate definitions of types, you don't have missing definitions of types? And you didn't disable the admin handler?
And it's not just admin that's failing to find the core, right? If you use command line to ping it for a basic search, do you get anything? I am really grasping at the straws here. You seem to be very organized with that and any errors (for the stuff I mentioned above) SHOULD be clear and visible. I'd start bisecting the problem: 1) Admin and/or command-line problem 2) Is filesystem monitoring during the start ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645 ) shows any unexpected filesystem access 3) Can you cut your changes in half (e.g. not remove anything) and still see the problem Regards, Alex. P.s. When you do figure it out, let us know. Just for the future troubleshooting generations.
