Hi, I have a custom core directories in my Solr located at solrMain\node1\solr, and I set it through the -s <dir> parameter in the Solr startup script, and it looks like this: bin\solr.cmd start -cloud -p 8983 -s solrMain\node1\solr -m 12g -z "localhost:2181,localhost:2182,localhost:2183"
This works fine in Solr 5.2.1. However, when I tried to upgrade it to Solr 5.3.0 and start Solr using the same startup script, it gives the following error: HTTP ERROR 500 Problem accessing /solr/admin. Reason: Server Error Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.authenticateRequest(SolrDispatchFilter.java:237) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:186) at org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrDispatchFilter.doFilter(SolrDispatchFilter.java:179) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$CachedChain.doFilter(ServletHandler.java:1652) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doHandle(ServletHandler.java:585) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:143) at org.eclipse.jetty.security.SecurityHandler.handle(SecurityHandler.java:577) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doHandle(SessionHandler.java:223) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doHandle(ContextHandler.java:1127) at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler.doScope(ServletHandler.java:515) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler.doScope(SessionHandler.java:185) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler.doScope(ContextHandler.java:1061) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ScopedHandler.handle(ScopedHandler.java:141) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandlerCollection.handle(ContextHandlerCollection.java:215) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerCollection.handle(HandlerCollection.java:110) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerWrapper.handle(HandlerWrapper.java:97) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server.handle(Server.java:499) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpChannel.handle(HttpChannel.java:310) at org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConnection.onFillable(HttpConnection.java:257) at org.eclipse.jetty.io.AbstractConnection$2.run(AbstractConnection.java:540) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool.runJob(QueuedThreadPool.java:635) at org.eclipse.jetty.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool$3.run(QueuedThreadPool.java:555) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) If I start without the -s <dir> command, it is able to start with the default directory (server/solr), but without any core and index, as my cores and indexes are not located there. The Solr is able to start normally with the migrated cores and indexes only if I replace the solr.cmd to the one I used in Solr 5.2.1. I couldn't use the one provided in Solr 5.3.0. Is there any changes that I need to do with my setting in order to use the solr.cmd provided in Solr 5.3.0, and also to link it to my custom core directories by using the -s <dir> in my startup script? I check the Solr Start Script Reference Page at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Solr+Start+Script+Reference, but it didn't state any difference. Regards, Edwin
