Thanks Shawn, also thanks for sharing info about chroot. I am trying to implement the solr cloud with solr-5.0.0.
I also checked the documentations https://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrCloud, the method shown there is using start.jar. But after few update start.jar (jetty) will not work. So I want to go through the way which will work as it is even after upgrade. So how could i start it from bin directory with all these parameters of external zookeeper or any other best way which you can suggest.
