I hadn't had a chance to review the logs, but when I did just now, I found this: ERROR - 2015-04-07 11:56:15.568; org.apache.solr.core.CorePropertiesLocator; Couldn't persist core properties to /index/solr4/cores/sparkinc_0/core.properties: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /index/solr4/cores/sparkinc_0/core.properties (Permission denied) That's fairly clear. I guess my permissions were wrong. My best guess as to why -- things owned by root from when I created the core.properties files. Solr does not run as root. I didn't think to actually look at the permissions before I ran a script that I maintain which fixes all the ownership on my various directories involved in my full search installation. I don't think this explains the not-deleted segment files problem. Those segment files were written by solr running as the regular user, so there couldn't have been a permission problem. Thanks, Shawn
