What I did to finally get this working was remove the Catalina/localhost/solr.xml which was allowing the binary to be run from a different location, I made sure the solr.solr.home=/ebs-data/solr/conf was set to the file mount I wanted and I then had to remove the Dsolr.data.dir=/ebs-data/solr/data " argument. Once I did that, I can get collections to create successfully from the collections api which now show up under /ebs-data/solr/conf.
In short it seems that the solr.data.dir argument can't be used with the collections API. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SOLR-4-8-Collections-API-Create-Collection-Fails-on-Tomcat-tp4137456p4137506.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
