If I'm not mistaken the command requires that the books_data folder already exists with a conf folder inside and the various required files (solrconfig.xml, solr.xml,etc). To get an idea of what you should have in your conf folder you can check out the included configsets (sample_techproducts_configs for example). These configsets have the required files and you can copy and modify to accommodate your own needs. I am not 100% sure where to find them on a windows installation but I believe it would be C:\solr\server\configsets\ or another subfolder of the server folder.

I am using Solr Version 7.2.1 I have one CSV file named as books_data.csv which contains 20000 records. Now I want to create solr core to start my basic search using Solr UI. Steps which I Follow :- 1) Go to bin directory and start solr C:\solr\bin>solr start -p 8983 2) books_data.csv is in C:\solr location 3) Now I try to create solr core. C:\solr\bin>solr create_core -c books_data -d C:\solr Got Error :- No Conf Sub folder or Solrconfig.xml file present. 4) Then I created folder "books_data" in C:\solr location and Created conf subfolder under books_data folder and put solrconfig.xml inside conf subfolder. 5) Again start to execute query C:\solr\bin>solr create_core -c books_data -d C:\solr\books_data Got Error :- Already core existed. When I checked Solr Admin UI , showing error message as SolrCore Initialization Failures - *books_data:* org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Could not load conf for core books_data: Error loading solr config from C:\solr\bin\books_data\conf\solrconfig.xml Please tell me where am I doing wrong? Thanks.
