Thanks for fixing the wiki page http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml now it says this: 'If this directory is not absolute, then it is relative to the directory you're in when you start SOLR.'
It will be nice if you drop me a line here after you make the change on the document ... -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Mi [mailto:patrick...@touchpointgroup.com] Sent: Tuesday, 26 February 2013 5:49 p.m. To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: DataDirectory: relative path doesn't work I am running Solr4.0/Tomcat 7 on Centos6 According to this page http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrConfigXml if <dataDir> is not absolute, then it is relative to the instanceDir of the SolrCore. However the index directory is always created under the directory where I start the Tomcat (startup.sh) rather than under instanceDir of the SolrCore. Am I doing something wrong in configuration?
