Thanks a lot @Paul.
A did as you said and added an entry in solrconfig.xml for data directory.
But when I tried to register an new core it gave me the following error. It
seems its not able to pick the core name from ${solr.core.name} [even tried
what you mentioned in your last mail, ${core.name} but no luck.
HTTP Status 500 - No system property or default value specified for
core.name org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: No system property or
default value specified for solr.core.name at
