Hi Erick, Thanks for your reply.
My assumption was based on my steps apparently working with 6.1.0, i.e. I could just add a core via the web UI without any other steps being required and everything appeared to work. That process, which I accept was probably not correct in the first place, no longer appears to work with 6.3.0. However, your recommendation works for me, e.g.: # sudo -u solr /opt/solr/bin/solr create_core -c new_core -d basic_configs creates the core as expected.
