how to connect jetty server with solr instance

Question

I'm running Jetty as a service (followed these instructions) on an Ubuntu 14 server. It's been configured to run on port 9000, and it seems to this just fine.

On the same server, I have a solr instance folder (it's located outside of jetty, as part of a website).

What I would like, is to be able to browse to hostname:9000/solr and hostname:9000/solr/admin and then see/manage the data that's in my solr instance folder, but all I ever get from the Jetty service are 404-errors.

The instance itself works perfectly if I start it manually by running 'java -Djetty.port=9000 -jar start.jar' - however, this is not what I want.

What do I need to do?

Edit: Here is the output from service jetty check

First make sure you have deployed the solr.war file correctly into Jetty as described here. Basically you have 2 options -

Copy the war file into the JETTY_HOME/webapps directory
Add the war file path into $JETTY_HOME/contexts/context.xml file

This will deploy Solr into jetty. To run Solr, set the Dsolr.solr.home system property to point to your Solr root directory e.g. java -Dsolr.solr.home= -jar start.jar
