Error on Site connection

Hey guys,

I've been googling my particualar issue for a while now and still don't seem to have an answer. I've been through the guide multiple times and at this point I'm really hopping to just find someone who has a similar issue or knows the problem. First things first let me give you my set up.

Centros: 6.4 x86_64

Tomcat6

apache-solr-3.6.2

Drupal 7 (latest)

www.sitename.com/drupal/

The root of drupal sits in a folder that is not the root of the URL (not sure if this matters)

Now I've read that in some cases people needed a php solr library but I assumed this was only for Drupal 6 so I ignored that. At first I also had no idea that tomcat was needed but with a simple yum tomcat6 i "believe" it is running fine. It returns with an "OK" when I start the service.

I copied all the files over to my example folder as told and final went to start up solr. Once it started everything appear to work fine however when I went to siteipaddress.com:8983/solr/ it simple would hang. Finally when I clicked on test within the drupal module I saw this spit back out from the console

The few lines before that simply said:

Each time I restart or test I get this same response. I've search this error, but haven't come up with anything that explains it. I follow the instructions multiple times, but unless I'm missing a step, it lands me in the same error. Has anyone seen this? HElp!
