Hi We have a few cores set up for separate sites and one of these is in use constantly. When I add a new core I can currently copying one of the other cores and renaming it, changing the conf etc and then reloading Solr via the tomcat manager. However, if something goes wrong then the other cores stop working until I have resolved the problem.
My questions are: 1) Is using a separate core for different sites the correct method? 2) Is there a way of creating a core and starting it without having to reload Solr or restart tomcat? 3) I've looked at the Solr Cores CREATE handler but from what I gather, I need to create the core folder and edit the solr.xml first before loading the core with action=CREATE. Is that correct? Regards Andrew
