Yes, the new UI is available via http://localhost:8983/solr/index.html. Thanks, that helps. And I can add a 2a which is once 5.2 is out, ask for feedback on the user list. As to how URLs are managed, the web.xml welcome-file currently causes http://localhost:8983/solr/ to point to admin.html. The new UI is accessible via http://localhost:8983/solr/index.html. Switch the welcome-file and the old UI will still be available via http://localhost:8983/solr/admin.html for as long as we decide to leave it there. Otherwise, your plan looks good. I'll have until 5.2 is feature-frozen to hunt for bugs/etc. Upayavira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
