Are you using old-style XML files with a <cores> tag and maybe <core> tags as well? If so, see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5510
Short form: you may have better luck if you're using old-style solr.xml files by adding: genericCoreNodeNames="${genericCoreNodeNames:true} to your <cores> tag, something like: <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="collection1" genericCoreNodeNames="${genericCoreNodeNames:true}"> <core name="collection1" instanceDir="collection1" coreNodeName="core_node1"/> </cores> But really, I'd use the new-style discovery instead. That's "the new way".
