I don't think there has ever been a solr.configDir property ...
there is
the concept of a "Solr Home" directory which can be specified using
the
"solr.solr.home" system property when starting the JVM, or by using
JNDI, the wiki has lots more info...
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrInstall
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrTomcat
Also, it's possible to use system properties within the configuration
files. One change I make to solrconfig.xml is this:
<dataDir>${solr.data.dir:./solr/data}</dataDir>
This allows Solr to be started in this manner:
java -Dsolr.solr.home=<solr home> -Dsolr.data.dir=<data dir> -jar
start.jar
In fact, I've just committed this change to the example
solrconfig.xml file so it'll be in there as an example from now on.
