If you have an existing conf you don’t need to worry about config sets.

Copy the server/ folder to your new location 2. cd server/solr (or the location you defined as SOLR HOME) 3. cp -r /path/to/old/solr4/SOLR_HOME/dovecot . 4. Make sure there is a core.properties file in the dovecot folder 5. Start solr, and you should have your core up and running as before If you’re using SolrCloud and ZooKeeper there are other steps to follow. Jan
