Newbie question - Error loading an existing config file
Hello, We have Solr 7.4 up and running on a Linux machine. I'm just trying to add a new core so that I can eventually point a Drupal site to the Solr Server for indexing. When attempting to add a core, I'm getting the following error: new_solr_core: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Could not load conf for core new_solr_core: Error loading solr config from /home/solr/server/solr/new_solr_core/conf/solrconfig.xml I've confirmed that /home/solr/server/solr/new_solr_core/conf/solrconfig.xml exists but I'm still getting the error. Any direction is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Erick, Thanks for the quick response. Here is what is currently contained within the conf dir: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 18 17:51 lang -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54513 Feb 18 17:51 managed-schema -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 329 Feb 18 17:51 params.json -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 894 Feb 18 17:51 protwords.txt -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 55323 Feb 18 17:51 solrconfig.xml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 795 Feb 18 17:51 stopwords.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1153 Feb 18 17:51 synonyms.txt As far as the log, where exactly might I find the specific log that would give more info in regards to this error? thanks again!

Re: Newbie question - Error loading an existing config file
Thanks for your direction regarding the log. I was able to locate it and these two lines stood out: Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Could not load conf for core new_solr_core: Error loading solr config from /home/solr/server/solr/new_solr_core/conf/solrconfig.xml Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error loading solr config from /home/solr/server/solr/new_solr_core/conf/solrconfig.xml which seems to point to the same issue. I also went ahead and updated permissions/owner to "solr" on all directories and files within "/home/solr/server/solr/new_solr_core". Still no luck. This is currently the same message that I'm getting on the admin front end: new_solr_core: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Could not load conf for core new_solr_core: Error loading solr config from /home/solr/server/solr/new_solr_core/conf/solrconfig.xml. thanks!

Re: Newbie question - Error loading an existing config file
Gotcha. Lets try this: https://imgur.com/a/z5OzbLW What I'm trying to do seems pretty straightforward: 1. Install Solr Server 7.4 on Linux (Completed) 2. Connect my Drupal 7 site to the Solr Server and use it for indexing content My understanding is that I must first create a core in order to connect my drupal site to Solr Server. This is where I'm currently stuck. Thanks for your help!

Re: Newbie question - Error loading an existing config file
Thanks for the feedback. So here is where I'm at. I first went ahead and deleted the existing core that was returning the error using the following command: bin/solr delete -c new_solr_core Now when I access the admin panel, there are no errors. I then referred to the large "warning" box on the CREATE action documentation: "While it’s possible to create a core for a non-existent collection, this approach is not supported and not recommended. Always create a collection using the *Collections API* before creating a core directly for it." I then tried to create a collection using the following "Collections API" command: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=newCollection&numShards=2&replicationFactor=1&wt=xml This was the response: 400 2 org.apache.solr.common.SolrException org.apache.solr.common.SolrException Solr instance is not running in SolrCloud mode. 400 I guess my main question is, do I need to be running in "SolrCloud mode" if my intention is to use Solr Server to index a Drupal 7 website? We're currently using opensolr.com which is working fine but we're trying to avoid the monthly costs associated with their "Shared Solr Cloud" plan. Thanks!
