Shawn, that was it! I copied my lib directory to both /solr-5.4.0/example/cloud/node1/solr and /solr-5.4.0/example/cloud/node2/solr. Everything ran perfectly.
Maybe the documentation should be updated with this clarification, because it currently makes it sound like all you have to do is put lib into /solr-5.4.0/server/solr Thank you so much for your help! You guys are great and provide a wonderful service to us novices.
