Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-7316:
------------------------------------
I have updated the reference guide page you linked to indicate that when using
CREATE, it must be able to find a configuration, or the call will not succeed.
I think that takes care of this issue.
A question for my fellows: I included this sentence in the "warning" section:
"One thing you COULD do is use config and schema parameters that point at
absolute paths, but this can lead to confusing configurations unless you fully
understand what you are doing." Is this a correct statement?

> Key: SOLR-7316
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7316
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 5.0
> Reporter: Mark Haase
>
> *Steps To Reproduce*
> {code}
> curl
> 'http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=new_core&instanceDir=new_core'
> {code}
> *Expected Result*
> Create a core called "new_core".
> *Actual Result*
> {quote}
> Error CREATEing SolrCore 'new_core': Unable to create core [new_core] Caused
> by: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or
> '/var/solr/data/new_core/conf'
> {quote}
> Somebody on solr-users tells me:
> {quote}
> The CoreAdmin API requires that the instanceDir already exist, with a
> conf directory inside it that contains solrconfig.xml, schema.xml, and
> any other necessary config files.
> {quote}
> Huh? Where is this magical knowledge mentioned in the [API
> documentation|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/CoreAdmin+API]?
> Another user on the list serve says:
> {quote}
> In fact, yes. The thing to remember here is that you're using a much
> older approach that had its roots in the pre-cloud days.
> {quote}
> *The whole point of creating APIs is to abstract out details that the caller
> doesn't need to know, and yet this API requires an understanding of Solr's
> internal file structure and history of the project?* I'm speechless.
