Hi list, I think it's a good idea add the chroot zookeeper folder at the end of: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_0/setting-up-an-external-zookeeper-ensemble.html
"Once these servers are running, you can reference them from Solr just as you did before:" bin/solr start -e cloud -z localhost:2181,localhost:2182,localhost:2183/solrchroot -noprompt" /solrchroot as an example. it took me a while to find out by blindly trying. looks like other users face the same problem (according to google). the error message in the solr logs isn't really helpful in that case. besides this. why would someone create a (zookeeper) cluster while running all server on the same machine?? "bin/solr start -e cloud -z localhost:2181,zknode1:2181,zknode2:2181/solrchroot -noprompt" makes more sense. IMHO Cheers! Stefan K.
