: Also can can open admin at : : http://localhost:8983/solr/core1/admin/
: But then trying to ping : http://localhost:8983/solr/core1/admin/ping : : I get error 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR The ping URL only works if you configure the PingRequestHandler with a default query, or use the extremely deprecated <pingQuery> syntax in the <admin> block of your solrconfig.xml ... the multicore example has a very bare bones solrconfig.xml, so neither of this things is configured. the error you are seeing is fairly unfortunate ... logging a better error message about the lack of configurtion would be ideal, i've opened SOLR-965 to track this as an improvement. -Hoss
