I'm having trouble getting the core CREATE command to work with relative paths in the solr.xml configuration.
I'm working with a layout like this: /opt/solr [this is solr.solr.home: $SOLR_HOME] /opt/solr/solr.xml /opt/solr/core0/ [this is the "template" core] /opt/solr/core0/conf/schema.xml [etc.] /opt/tomcat/bin [where tomcat is started from: $TOMCAT_HOME/bin] My very basic solr.xml: <solr persistent="true"> <cores adminPath="/admin/cores"> <core name="core0" instanceDir="core0/"/> </cores> </solr> The CREATE core command works fine with absolute paths, but I have a requirement to use relative paths. I want to be able to create a new core like this: http://localhost:8080/solr/admin/cores ?action=CREATE &name=core1 &instanceDir=core1 &config=core0/conf/solrconfig.xml &schema=core0/conf/schema.xml (core1 is the name for the new core to be created, and I want to use the config and schema from core0 to create the new core). but the error is always due to the servlet container thinking $TOMCAT_HOME/bin is the current working directory: Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: *Can't find resource 'core0/conf/solrconfig.xml'* in classpath or '/opt/solr/core1/conf/', * cwd=/opt/tomcat/bin * Does anyone know how to make this happen? Thanks, -Jay
