The behavior is expected properties set in solr.xml are not implicitly used anywhere. you will have to use those variables explicitly in solrconfig.xml/schema.xml instead of hardcoding dataDir in solrconfig.xml you can use it as a variable <dataDir>$$dataDir</dataDir>
BTW there is an issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-943) which helps you specify the dataDir in solr.xml On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 5:19 AM, Mark Ferguson <mark.a.fergu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > In my solr.xml file, I am trying to set the dataDir property the way it is > described in the CoreAdmin page on the wiki: > > <core name='p11' instanceDir='./'> > <property name="dataDir" value="./data/p11" /> > </core> > > However, the property is being completed ignored.
