Hi Marcus, Your curl cmds don't work in that format on my unix. I conver them as follows, and they still don't work:
$ curl --fail $solrIndex/update?commit=true -d '*:*' $ curl --fail $solrIndex/update -d '' >From the browser: http://localhost:8080/solr/update?commit=true%20-d%20%27%3Cdelete%3E%3Cquery%3E*:*%3C/query%3E%3C/delete%3E%27 This is the response I get. − 0 18 The only thing that works: $rm - r SOLR_HOME/solr $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh stop $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start I'm running a single core instance. I'm using this nutch script [1] and this[2] hints at my solr config.
