That worked. Thanks both of you (Hoss too). I had in fact set the solr.xml hostPort on both shards to 80 earlier to match Tomat. But I kept getting
INFO: Update state numShards=null message={ "operation":"state", "core_node_name":"10.x.x.105:8983_solr_mycore", "numShards":null, "shard":"shard2", "roles":null, "state":"active", "core":"mycore", "collection":"mycore", "node_name":"10.x.x.105:8983_solr", "base_url":"http://10.x.x.105:8983/solr"} when they were initializing (the above being one of many of these INFO statements). So 8983 was cached somewhere. If you do not explicitly set hostPort will it default to 8983 or to Tomcat's port from server.xml?
