: This may be a dumb question but I am curious why the sample Solr Jetty : results in a URL with a # sign e.g. http://localhost:8983/solr/#/~logging ?
You're looking at the Solr UI which is a single page javascript/AJAX based system that uses url fragments (after the hash) to record state about what you are looking at in the UI some background... https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4431?focusedCommentId=13596596&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13596596 : Is there any way to get rid of it, so I could have something like: : http://localhost:8983/solr/~logging ? Why specifically does it concern/bother you about having a "#" in the UI URL? Smells like an XY Problem... https://people.apache.org/~hossman/#xyproblem XY Problem Your question appears to be an "XY Problem" ... that is: you are dealing with "X", you are assuming "Y" will help you, and you are asking about "Y" without giving more details about the "X" so that we can understand the full issue. Perhaps the best solution doesn't involve "Y" at all? See Also: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341 -Hoss
