Shouldn't this be
sudo service jetty restart ?

Thanks for providing this recipe. It works now!

Thanks so much for the fix! Saved me endless hours of mind scratching. Gave up on the package install last time because I couldn't get solr-jetty working.

I still have a problem with Solr-jetty
I've done suggested:

# cd /tmp
# wget https://launchpad.net/~vshn/+archive/ubuntu/solr/+files/solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
# dpkg -i solr-jetty-jsp-fix_1.0.2_all.deb
# service jetty restart

but http://myVPS:8983/solr/ returns attached error (/var/log/jetty/out.log) - out.log.txt

configuration of myVPS:

• Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
• Linux 3.16.6-042stab120.3 [doc,s] Minor updates to documentation about loader scripts. #1 SMP Thu Oct 20 18:18:21 MSK 2016 x86_64 x86_64
• x86_64 GNU/Linux
• /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
• java -version
• java version "1.7.0_111"
• OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.7) (7u111-2.6.7-0ubuntu0.14.04.3)
• OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.111-b01, mixed mode)

I've tried java-6 too but with the same result.

To all having problems with solr-jetty: disregard the docs and install solr-tomcat. It should work without an issue and (on Ubuntu) the configuration files should be in the same places. Note that Tomcat's default port is 8080 though, so in the ini file use solr_url = http://localhost:8080/solr
We will update the docs as soon as we have a moment.

I benefitted from this fix too today.
