Hi SOLR community, I had a few projects with solr on windows but this is the very first time to work with Solr on Ubuntu. I followed every step of the https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/taking-solr-to-production.html. When My non-root user executed that install script.
The solr user and group was created by the installation script, I left everything on default. I could access the admin page of Solr on localhost. Then I tried to create a core from the terminal in single node mode which is automatically recognized anyway, and got the following error: WARNING: Using _default configset with data driven schema functionality. NOT RECOMMENDED for production use. To turn off: bin/solr config -c books -p 8983 -action set-user-property -property update.autoCreateFields -value false ERROR: Failed to create new core instance directory: /var/solr/data/books Then following the instruction I ran: /opt/solr//op/bin/bin/solr config -c books -p 8983 -action set-user-property -property update.autoCreateFields -value false. I git the next error: POSTing request to Config API: http://localhost:8983/solr/books/config {"set-user-property":{"update.autoCreateFields":"false"}} ERROR: Error from server at http://localhost:8983/solr: Expected mime type in [application/octet-stream, application/vnd.apache.solr.javabin] but got text/html. <p> Searching for Solr?<br/> You must type the correct path.<br/> Solr will respond. </p> It is understandable because even books core was not created so I guess the referred endpoint does not exist. So my question is, how can I set up a core based on the default configset which I can later customize before start indexing? Thanks for your help in advance! Roland
