Thank you for your suggestions. I did check and my tomcat (tomcat 7) is owned
by my dspace user as is my solr index, so tomcat should be able to write to the
solr directory (it works OK for 4.2). So, I am not sure what is causing the
permission problem, but I will keep checking.
Have you run a chown with the -c flag on your solr directory? That will tell
you about any changes it makes. Might be worth it just so you can go from
"tomcat should be able to write to the solr directory" to "tomcat is definitely
able to write to the solr directory". Just on the off-chance this is happening
to you: I've had nasty surprises when the solr directory was on a different
partition and symlinked into [dspace], chown -R didn't work across the symlink
(it changed ownership of the symlink but not of the symlinked directory).
Also, if the permissions have been wrong in the past at some point, sometimes
the write.lock file sticks around with wrong write permissions. In that case,
it helps to stop tomcat, delete the write.lock file, then start tomcat.
cheers,
Andrea
