Thanks Erick! I looked at solr twiki though if configSetBaseDir is not set, the default should be SOLR_HOME/configsets:
configSetBaseDir The directory under which configsets for solr cores can be found. Defaults to SOLR_HOME/configsets and I do have my solr started with : -Dsolr.solr.home=/myprojectdata/solr/data I also deploy my config into: /myprojectdata/solr/data/configsets/myproject_configs anyways, looks like the default is not working? I found this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6158, which seems to talk about the configSetBaseDir issue ... I do set configSetBaseDir in solr.xml and it works now. Just wonder why the default wont work. Or I might did something else wrong. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/project-related-configsets-need-to-be-deployed-in-both-data-and-solr-install-folders-tp4317897p4318163.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
