Thanks Grant. Solrconfig.xml was the first place I looked into, but somehow missed it *scratches head*...
Just a remark: <!-- Used to specify an alternate directory to hold all index data other than the default ./data under the Solr home. If replication is in use, this should match the replication configuration. --> Might be a good idea to change this to ./data/index to reflect the location that is expected in there. D.
