Hi It is not clear to me what exact command you were doing when you got an error. Please state your solr version, the exact command you were trying to execute and what error msg you got.
Why do you believe that resolving relative bootstrap_confdir relative to SOLR_HOME is a good idea? If a config resides relative to SOLR_HOME, Solr will try to bootstrap that as a core at startup, which is probably not what you would like. -- Jan Høydahl, search solution architect Cominvent AS - www.cominvent.com > 9. sep. 2016 kl. 19.04 skrev M Skazy <mskazy...@gmail.com>: > > Hi, > > I was having an issue setting up a Solr instance w/ a external Zookeeper. > My SOLR_HOME is not set to the default location.
