I did see that and was trying to go down that path, but apparently messed something up! Seems if I start SOLR with the following command, it starts, but the Admin UI only throws a 500 error.
bin/solr start -c -p 8080 -z 1.1.1.1:2181 It ends up tossing this: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Error processing the request.

I did manage to get everything up using the internal Zookeeper once...and create a collection and all that jazz. Using the external, proved to smack me down though ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Erick Erickson [mailto:erickerick...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2017 5:44 PM To: solr-user <solr-user@lucene.apache.org> Subject: Re: SOLRCloud on 6.4 on Ubuntu Getting configs up (and down) from solr is done either with zkCli or bin/solr. Personally I find the latter easier if only because it's in a single place. Try bin/solr zk -help and you'll see a bunch of options. Once you do upload the config, you must reload the collection for it to "take".
