I followed these steps and I am unable to launch in cloud mode. 1. created / started 3 external Zookeeper hosts: zk1, zk2, zk3
2. installed Solr 5.1 as a service called solrsvc on two hosts: s1, s2 3. uploaded a configset to zk1 (solr home is /volume/solr/data) ------------------------------------------------------------------- /opt/solrsvc/server/scripts/cloud-scripts/zkcli.sh -cmd upconfig -zkhost zk1:2181 -confname mycollection_cloud_conf -solrhome /volume/solr/data -confdir /home/ec2-user/mycollection/conf 4. on s1, added these params to solr.in.sh ------------------------------------------------------------------- ZK_HOST=zk1:2181,zk2:2181,zk3:2181 SOLR_HOST=s1 ZK_CLIENT_TIMEOUT="15000" SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -DnumShards=2" 5. on s1 created core directory and file -------------------------------------------------------------------- /volume/solr/data/mycollection/core.properties (name=mycollection) 6. repeated steps 4,5 for s2 minus the numShards param Starting the service on s1 gives me mycollection: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Could not load conf for core mycollection: Error loading solr config from /volume/solr/data/mycollection/conf/solrconfig.xml but aren't the config files supposed to be in Zookeeper?
