if you get an error on the admin UI, there should be specifics about
*what* the initialization failure is -- at last one sentence, and there
should be a full stack trace in the logs -- having those details will
help understand the root of your first problem, which may explain your
second problem.
The sentence on the admin page just tells me to check the logs, but I
don't appear to have any yet. Those are located in
solr/collection1/data/tlog/, right?
it would also help to know what the CoreAdmin handler returns when you ask
it for status about all the cores -- even if the *UI* is having problems
on your browser, that should return useful info (like: how many cores you
have -- if any -- and which one had an init failure)
The only browser I appear to be able to use in my SSH (my only access to
the server) is Lynx, so this response isn't formatted, unfortunately,
but this is what I get. I tried to find a sample response so I could
compare and parse out the useful information, but no luck. It looks like
there is only the one core, though. I don't see anything that looks like
an init failure.

My guess is it would look something like this if it were formatted

/etc/solr/collection1/
/etc/solr/collection1/data/

that error indicates that your solr client sent a document to some (valid
and functioning) SolrCore which has a schema.xml that does not contain a
field named "brand".
So it could be that I just updated the wrong schema.xml. But if
/etc/solr/ is my solr home directory, then /etc/solr/collection1/conf/
would be the right location, right?
