Thanks a lot, it seems that probably solr won't start because of all the log libraries missing. Once I copied all needed log libraries inside c:\tomcat\libs solr started with no problem.
If other person are interested, here is the link on the wiki that states changes in logging library in solr 4.3 http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrLogging#What_changed Thanks Alexandre for pointing me in the right direction :) -- Gian Maria Ricci Mobile: +39 320 0136949 -----Original Message----- From: Alexandre Rafalovitch [mailto:arafa...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, May 27, 2013 8:00 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org; alkamp...@nablasoft.com Subject: Re: Unable to start solr 4.3 The usual answer (which may or may not be relevant) is that Solr 4.3 has moved the logging libraries around and you need to copy specific library implementations to your Tomcat lib files. If that sounds as a possible, search the mailing list for a number of detailed discussions on this topic.
