Hi Team We have created a new sitecore environment with the Azure market place solution "Azure Experience Cloud" (PaaS). Sitecore version 9.3 XM scaled topology with SOLR search. Since Solr App doesn't come by default with the market place solution we created a new Web App for Solr.
Steps we followed for creating Solr App service: 1. Created a blank sitecore 9.3 solution from Azure market place and created a Web app for Solr. 2. Unzipped the Solr 8.1.1 package and copied all the contents to wwwroot folder of the Web app created for Solr using WinSCP/FTP. 3. Created a new Solr core by creating a new folder {index folder} and copied 'conf' from the "/site/wwwroot/server/solr/configsets/_default". 4. Created a core.properties file with numShards=2 & name={index folder} We get the below error: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: Index dir 'C:\home\site\wwwroot\server\solr{index folder}\data\index/' of core '{index folder}' is already locked. The most likely cause is another Solr server (or another solr core in this server) also configured to use this directory; other possible causes may be specific to lockType: native This is a pre-requisite for our Sitecore migration and we are not able to proceed further. Requesting you to kindly let us know whether the steps followed by us are correct. Awaiting your earliest response.
