Hi Sorry, it wasn't very clear was it? [?]
Yes, I use a 'template' core that isn't used and create a copy of this on the command line. I then edit the newcore/conf/solrconfig.xml and set the data path, add data-import sections etc and then I edit the solr.home/solr.xml and add the core name & directory to that. I then go to the Tomcat manager/html and reload Solr. The problem I get is that if I have broken something in the new core Solr (correctly) doesn't reload and the other cores aren't then working. I don't need replication just yet but I will be looking into that eventually.
