I actually was not using a solr.xml. I am only using a single core. I am using the default core name collection1. I know for sure I will not be using more than a single core so I did not bother with having a solr.xml. Is that a bad thing?
Everything works when I had tomcat config to run on port 8983. But once I configure tomcat to use a different port, I notice that SolrCloud is still using port 8983 so it wasn't working. I then tried adding "-Djetty.port=8000" and "-DhostPort=8000" to the environment variable JAVA_OPTS before running the tomcat start script bin/startup.sh. But SolrCloud was still using 8983. I ended up setting hostPort in solr.xml and got things working. It solr.xml is required, then I can just set the port for SolrCloud in there. But I was hoping I did not have to bother with solr.xml at all. One less configuration file, one less thing that can go wrong.
