I extracted the WAR file (unzipped) to a new folder, copied over our WEB-INF/*.xml files
(tried updating for anything new from the 7.3m1 version and using the 7.2 versions without
changes) and the WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.24-bin.jar file.
Yes, the WEB-INF/lib/xwiki-platform-search-solr-api-7.3-milestone-1.jar file is there.
Thanks for your help.

Almost every single time I do an update, I run into problems and either parts of the wiki
don't work or it won't load at all.
Right now, won't load at all. Blank screen. No error, no nothing. Logs are not
helping.

I don’t know how you did the upgrade (you didn’t mention) but the error above seems to
indicate that you have an incomplete WAR file and that it’s missing the
xwiki-platform-search-solr-api-<version>.jar JAR. Could you check if you have it in
your WEB-INF/lib?
Thanks
