If the .pid file is not at that location, then I would investigate where that file is instead (after Solr is started).
If it is in a different location, then you have different environment expectations, somehow. This, in all honesty, would still be consistent with my theory that Solr was started somehow differently (perhaps just this once). If it is nowhere, then you may have a permission issue around creating that file in the first place. Basically, I am saying that maybe the issue you have is a symptom of a deeper discrepancy rather than the actual issue to solve directly. Regards, Alex.
