OK, I think you're jumping ahead and trying to do too many things at once. What did you download? Source? The distro? The error you posted usually happens for me when I haven't compiled the "example" target from source. So I'd guess you don't have the proper targets built. This assumes you downloaded the source via SVN.
If you downloaded a distro, I'd start by NOT copying anything anywhere, just go to the example code and start Solr. Make sure you have what you think you have. I've seen "interesting" things get cured by removing the entire directory where your servlet container unpacks war files, but that's usually in development environments. When I get in these situations, I usually find it's best to back up, do one thing at a time and verify that I get the expected results at each step. It's tedious, but....
