I followed every step, but I can start the solr service. It says 'paused.

I get the following error:

    Can you start Solr manually by going to the working directory and entering the path to solr.cmd manually with the same parameters? (remember `-f` - enter exactly the parameters mentioned) – MatsLindh Apr 13 '17 at 12:02
  • Yes I tried that, but it didn't work. – Dragi Postolovski Apr 13 '17 at 12:08

  • If you can't start Solr manually, that's the part you'll have to fix - it won't help trying to start it as a service if Solr refuses to start at all. Fix that first, then move on to installing it as a service. – MatsLindh Apr 13 '17 at 12:21
  • I tried starting it manually and i was successfully able to start. But when installed it as a service using nssm tool. it give me the same error message. I have added JAVA_HOME system environment variable but it didn't resolve the issue. is there any other way to debug it? – Arvind Gehlot Feb 09 '18 at 07:07

    The path to your JAVA_HOME is probably incorrect, double check it. This is usually the issue... – WizxX20 Jul 18 '18 at 10:13
  • For me solr was running, and it is currently paused(I checked after a long time) can java update possibly mess JAVA_HOME for solr? – Chaitanya Gadkari Nov 16 '18 at 11:29
  • Yes Java home was set to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_171 and java was updated to 191 – Chaitanya Gadkari Nov 19 '18 at 04:40

I was also running with same problem. Solr service was installed successfully. Then it got paused and tried resuming but it throws an alert to check with administrator. I checked Java version and Java-Home path both were correct. Then I reinstall the service but again it got into same situation. Later I found out on article which say to use:

start -f -p 8983

to use in argument while installation and it did the trick now it is working fine. So basically when you run commnad

nssm install <solrSerivceName>

it prompt for NSSM service installer

It installed solr service and solr service run well now.

If you are able to run Solr manually from Solr installation directory and it is failing when you start it as a service. This could be the reason.

From the NSSM download page (https://nssm.cc/download), they acknowledge the issue with Windows 10 Creators Update and offer a solution:

"2017-04-26: Users of Windows 10 Creators Update should use prelease build 2.2.4-101 to avoid an issue with services failing to start. If for some reason you cannot use that build you can also set AppNoConsole=1 in the registry, noting that applications which expect a console window may behave unexpectedly."

I tried 'solr.cmd start' but still the services wouldn't run. After I tried 'solr.cmd stop -all' this seemed to allow the windows service to start.
