Right, the comments about source control are a bit misleading, that's just where _I'd_ keep my configs ;). You can pull the configs from Zookeeper as well with the "downconfig", see: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Command+Line+Utilities
As to why the file doesn't seem to change, that's a puzzle. If you've uploaded the file to Zookeeper correctly, you should be able to go into the Cloud>>Tree>>configs>>db_config and see a list of config files in ZK, then click on one to see the contents of that file as a sanity check. Please do _not_ do anything with the core admin screen/api except, possibly, look at things. Reloading a core won't help if you happen to hit some _other_ replica with your command, use the collections API to reload the _collection_ instead. Although if that was the problem you'd have gotten around it when you restarted the cloud.
