Hi running bin/solr start does not start up in cloud mode despite having ZK_HOST set in /etc/default/solr.in.sh.
running openjdk 1.8 solr 6.5.1 on aws linux zookeeper 3.4.6 on aws linux (3 node ensemble) logs look clean both in zookeeper and solr running bin/solr zk ls / returns Connecting to ZooKeeper at ec2-xxx:2181,ec2-xxx:2181,ec2-xxx:2181/solr ... Getting listing for Zookeeper node / from ZooKeeper at ec2-34-196-159-23.compute-1.amazonaws.com:2181, ec2-34-196-204-202.compute-1.amazonaws.com:2181, ec2-34-196-212-108.compute-1.amazonaws.com:2181/solr recurse: false configs solr.xml This suggests that zk_hosts is being picked up and the connection looks ok woth the zk ensemble running bin/solr start returns Waiting up to 180 seconds to see Solr running on port 8983 [\] Started Solr server on port 8983 (pid=30467). Happy searching! but the status suggests we are in stand alone core mode bin/solr status Found 1 Solr nodes: Solr process 30467 running on port 8983 { "solr_home":"/var/solr/data", "version":"6.5.1 cd1f23c63abe03ae650c75ec8ccb37762806cc75 - jimczi - 2017-04-21 12:23:42", "startTime":"2017-06-03T15:02:53.995Z", "uptime":"0 days, 0 hours, 1 minutes, 5 seconds", "memory":"23 MB (%4.7) of 490.7 MB"} and indeed trying to create collection fails bin/solr create_collection -c destinations -n destinations ERROR: Solr at http://localhost:8983/solr is running in standalone server mode, please use the create_core command instead; create_collection can only be used when running in SolrCloud mode. forcing the issue with bin/solr start -c or even bin/solr start-c -z xxx/solr makes no difference. I'm sure i'm missing something obvious in the solr.in.sh but can't find anything so far. Lee C
