Thanks! Alexandre's presentation is helpful in understanding what's not essential. David's suggesting of comparing config files is good - I'll have to see if I can dig up the config files for version 4.2, which we're currently running.
I'll also look into updating to a supported version. I guess I'll be reading https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/upgrading-solr.html and the similar ones for later versions. Is an upgrade guide for version 4 to 5 still around somewhere?
