Hi I am new to solr and trying to run through the quick start guide ( http://lucene.apache.org/solr/quickstart.html).
The installation seems fine but then I run: bin/solr start -e cloud -noprompt I get: Welcome to the SolrCloud example! Starting up 2 Solr nodes for your example SolrCloud cluster. Starting up SolrCloud node1 on port 8983 using command: solr start -cloud -s example/cloud/node1/solr -p 8983 Waiting to see Solr listening on port 8983 [|] Started Solr server on port 8983 (pid=15536). Happy searching! Starting node2 on port 7574 using command: solr start -cloud -s example/cloud/node2/solr -p 7574 -z localhost:9983 Waiting to see Solr listening on port 7574 [/] Started Solr server on port 7574 (pid=15798). Happy searching! Then I run in another console, because this one is still occupied with solr: bin/post -c gettingstarted docs/ I get: java -classpath /usr/lib/solr-5.0.0/dist/solr-core-5.0.0.jar -Dauto=yes -Dc=gettingstarted -Ddata=files -Drecursive=yes org.apache.solr.util.SimplePostTool docs/ SimplePostTool version 5.0.0 Posting files to [base] url http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/update...

I can open http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/info/system in my web browser and it has an xml file. http://localhost:8983/solr/gettingstarted/update in my web browser gives me: HTTP ERROR 404 Problem accessing /solr/gettingstarted/update. Reason: Not Found Powered by Jetty:// http://localhost:8983/solr/#/ shows data in my web browser, but the cloud tab is empty under graph. Any advice any one give me to get me started here with the product would be very appreciated. All the best. Will Ferrer
