I have tried installing Jetty server on my Ubuntu 12.04 following this steps. But when I start my server I get the following error,

service jetty start ** ERROR: JETTY_HOME not set, you need to set it or install in a standard location

Here's a pointer in the right direction: JETTY_HOME refers to an environment variable set with a value corresponding to the directory path where you have installed jetty.

This is a rather frustrating error with little help out there. I thought I'd post my solution here for someone who is looking to solve the same problem.

Anyway, the correct solution is to set JETTY_HOME in /etc/default/jetty like so:

 JETTY_HOME=/opt/jetty

Hope this helps someone.
