I had a problem like that when I blew away an index by deleting the index directory instead of its parent the data directory; it seemed that if Solr saw the data directory, it assumed the index was there. Removing the data directory and letting Solr create it seemed to fix the problem. (Or maybe something else got fixed at the same time, hard to say).

I have done this many times before, but am running into errors now and I am not sure what is causing them. I unzipped a copy of 1.1.0 and placed the .war file into tomcat. Then I created the solr directory with my bin, data, conf directories. When I restart tomcat (from the solr directory) and go to the Solr admin website everything looks fine. But, when I pull up the statistics page, I only have information in the Query Handlers box, the rest are empty. When I click on ping, I see a 500 error from tomcat. What am I forgetting to do? Thanks Andrew
