Hi instanced is collection1 in your case. Putting jars under /solr/collection1/lib should work. What jar files did you put there? Did you include
solr-velocity-4.6.1.jar commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar commons-collections-3.2.1.jar velocity-1.7.jar velocity-tools-2.0.jar On Monday, March 17, 2014 2:55 PM, Umapathy S <nsupat...@gmail.com> wrote: I am running solr 4.6.1.

Is it not the case with 4.6.1? I have tried creating a lib directory inside example/solr/collection1 and copying the velocity jars from contrib. I have also tried to copy those to example/lib (this has all jetty dependencies). This hasnt worked either. The wiki says put it in instanceDir/lib. What is the instanceDir here? Is there anywhere else I should create a lib dir and try? Thanks Umapathy
