Hello, Shawn, and thanks for your reply. I will look into this, ASAP. I know that on one of the dev environments the persistent flag is set to "true"; I'll check the others and the production.
I will also see if someone can get me a copy of the logs from the production environment to see if any more detail is contained within.

We have no way of knowing what happens when you do things in CFAdmin. I do have one possible idea of what might be going wrong here, though. Here's how multi-core Solr works in all versions prior to 4.3: The directory named with the solr.solr.home property (defaulting to ./solr) contains a file called solr.xml. This file describes the index cores that Solr knows about and defines a few global settings. Solr includes something called the CoreAdmin API for manipulating cores and solr.xml, which is probably utilized by CFAdmin. If the solr.xml file is missing an attribute called persistent on the <solr> tag, or that attribute is set to false, then changes made using the CoreAdmin API are not persisted in the solr.xml file on disk, so when Solr restarts, it will use what it had before. Note: SolrCloud (4.0 and later) does add the concept of collections - a cluster-wide view of multiple cores. SolrCloud is not required, and with version 1.4.1, you won't have to worry about it. Thanks, Shawn
