I am trying to run solr 4.3.0 under tomcat7 in ubuntu 13.04. Please see the log snippet below, which I get when I try to start tomcat by running catalina.sh. I get error filterStart as seen in the log. How do i solve it?

I have changed the default port to 9999 in the server.xml in /etc/tomcat7. I cannot open localhost:9999 or localhost:9999/solr.

The issue you are encountering is related to a change in the logging mechanism within Solr 4.3. From the Solr Logging page:

What changed

These versions do not include any logging jars in the WAR file. They must be provided separately. The Solr example for these versions includes jars (in the jetty lib/ext directory) that set up SLF4J with a binding to the Apache log4j library.

Why did it change?

The logging setup was changed for increased flexibility. With older versions, changing your logging mechanism required either building a special target from the source code or doing surgery on the WAR file. Now anyone can change to another logging mechanism or upgrade to newer component versions simply by changing jar files.

Please see Using the example logging setup in containers other than Jetty for the steps needed to configure Solr Logging to work properly with Tomcat. I had the same issue when I upgraded to Solr 4.3 and this corrected it.

I am not a TomCat Expert, but i would say your config is faulty for your solr4 servlet
