Thanks Erick for pointing me in this direction. Unfortunately when I try to us this I get an error. Here is the command that I am using and the response I get:
https://solrserver:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=mycore&instanceDir=/var/solr/data/mycore&dataDir=data&configSet=custom_configs [1] 32023 [2] 32024 [3] 32025 -bash: https://solrserver:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE: No such file or directory [4] 32026 [1] Exit 127 https://solrserver:8983/solr/adkmin/cores?action=CREATE [2] Done name=mycore [3]- Done instanceDir=/var/solr/data/mycore [4]+ Done dataDir=data I even tried to use the UNLOAD action to remove a core and got the same type of error as the -bash line above. I have tried searching online for an answer and have found nothing so far. Any ideas why this error is occuring. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William Kevin Miller ECS Federal, Inc.

You can, however, use the core admin API to do that, see: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/coreadmin-api.html#coreadmin-api Best, Erick On Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 1:14 PM, Miller, William K - Norman, OK - Contractor <william.k.mil...@usps.gov.invalid> wrote: > I know that when the create_core command is used that it sets the core > to the name of the parameter supplied with the “-c” option and the > instanceDir attribute in the http is also set to the name of the core. > What I want is to tell the create_core to use a different instanceDir > parameter.
