Yes - I commented out the element in solrconfig.xml and then got the expected behavior: the core used a data subdirectory in the core subdirectory. It seems like the problem arises from using the solrconfig.xml that's distributed as example/solr/conf/solrconfig.xml The solrconfig.xml's in

This definitely matches my own experience, and I've heard it from others. I haven't heard of anyone who HAS gotten it to work like that. But apparently there's a distributed multi-core example which claims to work like it doesn't for us. One of us has to try the Solr distro multi-core example

I did try that, yes. I tried that first in fact! It seems to fall back to a ./data directory relative to the _main_ solr directory (the one above all the cores), not the core instancedir. Which is not what I expected either. I wonder if this should be considered a bug? I wonder if anyone has

I spent a few hours chasing my tail on this one; I really just assumed that the core's data dir would be under the core's instance dir. But I ended up doing exactly what you did (copying from something I found on the web). seems like a design flaw that could be difficult to fix without breaki
