Thank you for your responses. However, according to my tests, solr 4.10.3 doesn’t use server by default anymore due to the removal of these lines in the bin/solr script.
# TODO: see SOLR-3619, need to support server or example # depending on the version of Solr if [ -e "$SOLR_TIP/server/start.jar" ]; then DEFAULT_SERVER_DIR=$SOLR_TIP/server else DEFAULT_SERVER_DIR=$SOLR_TIP/example fi Solr 5.0.0 does in both standalone and solrcloud modes ! This is great !
