Comment 1 for bug 1869802

After trying solr-tomcat in place of solr-jetty, I get some more meaningful errors suggesting that the system won't start due to the lack of any base dataset. Navigating to the solr web page returns a stack trace suggesting:

If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError> in solr.xml

However this tag is not currently present in solr.xml, and adding it / retarting the service had no impact on the behaviour.
