Thanks for all the help guys. I now have it up and running.

Hi all,

I have been trying to set up multiple cores on SOLR that runs under Apache 
Tomcat but haven't had much luck. I followed the instruction on the wiki but 
that didn't help much.

This is what I get when I browse in: 
http://devel.edina.ac.uk:20232/solr/admin/cores

My SOLR directory structure is:

solr
admin
home
       bin
       conf
       data
       solr.xml
         multicore
                core0
                    data
                    conf
                core1
                    data
                    conf
META-INF
WEB-INF
and my solr.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<solr persistent="true">
<cores adminPath="/admin/cores">
  <core name="core0" instanceDir="core0" />
  <core name="core1" instanceDir="core1" />
</cores>
</solr>



Could someone let me know what the correct directory structure is as well as 
the solr.xml? Are there any environmental variables that I need to set for 
multiplecores to work?

Thanks
Dimitrios
