Hi Shawn, Thanks for the reply.
Regarding this: > The scripts included with Solr have this path hardcoded, and for that reason, Solr probably won't even start without manual script edits if the webapp directory is changed Does this means that we have to recompile some of the JAR files that comes with Solr in order for it to work? As they have been hard-coded with things like "solr-webapp"?
