Hello! It must have something to do with the init-script and the solr.in.sh. As long as I start solr from within a console with bin/solr start then there is no problem creating a core.
As soon as I start solr with service solr start the creation of a core fails. Even if I comment the SOLR_HOME="/var/solr/data" in solr.in.sh and start solr with service solr start, creating a core is not possilbe. # bin/solr create -c zzz Copying configuration to new core instance directory: /opt/solr/server/solr/zzz Creating new core 'zzz' using command: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=zzz&instanceDir=zzz ERROR: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'zzz': Unable to create core [zzz] Caused by: /opt/solr-5.5.1/server/solr/zzz/data Can't figure out why it is so.
