Thanks, it is working when using just a solr.xml for each node. I can't find that anywhere in the docs.
As far as I can tell, the minimum config for a Zookeeper-based node is: -Dzkhost=.... -Dsolr.solr.home=... (directory containing solr.xml file) I started out doing separate Zookeeper loads and linkconfigs, but backed off to bootstrapping after a total lack of success. I'll try that again (in my copious free time), because that seems like the right approach for production. wunder On Jan 24, 2013, at 8:27 AM, Per Steffensen wrote: > Each node needs a -Dsolr.solr.home pointing to a solr.xml, but the > configuration-subfolder does not need to be there.
