I was with this problem and resolved using the complete path to the Solr home with a final slash, too.

Solr was trying to concatenate the path with the ~ with the current directory, so it wasn`t founding the config file.

I was using:

~/Desktop/www/echoprint/solr/solr/solr/

And when i changed to this, it started working.

/home/melhergui/Desktop/www/echoprint/solr/solr/solr/

If you are already doing like this, i think you could escape your path and try to see in the Solr log that prints in the screen. This was where i found the problem:

INFO: using system property solr.solr.home: ~/Desktop/www/echoprint/solr/solr/

INFO: looking for solr.xml: /home/melhergui/Desktop/www/echoprint/solr/solr/~/Desktop/www/echoprint/solr/solr/solr.xml
...
SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or '~/Desktop/www/echoprint/solr/solr/conf/', cwd=/home/melhergui/Desktop/www/echoprint/solr/solr

I hope it helps you to make it run.
