I have put SOLR 8.11.1 onto a windows server in a folder E:\ApacheSolr8_11_1 I am able to successfully start SOLR from the command window using the following command
bin\solr.cmd start -p 8983
I have a windows service that runs the following command to host SOLR in the windows service (this worked with SOLR 4.10.2, now trying to modify the command to run SOLR 8.11.1).
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_40\bin\java.exe" -Djetty.home=E:\ApacheSolr8_11_1\server -DSTOP.PORT=8087 -DSTOP.KEY=stopsolr -Djetty.logs=E:\ApacheSolr8_11_1\server\logs -Dorg.eclipse.jetty.util.log.SOURCE=true -Dsolr.solr.home=E:\ApacheSolr8_11_1\server -jar E:\ApacheSolr8_11_1\server\start.jar --module=http
When I test this from the command prompt, I get the following error:
