Hi Mark. Thanks for taking the time to explain it so clearly. It makes perfect sense to me now and using chown solved the problem. Thanks again and have a great day.

Yes, the stack trace actually tells you explicitly that the problem is permissions on that file. Follow the chain of "Caused by:" and you'll see: Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /opt/solr-6.6.6/cloud/test2/mycollection_shard1_replica1/data/index/write.lock Since, in the past, you have started Solr using 'sudo', this probably means that write.lock is owned by 'root'. Solr creates this file with permissions that allow only the owner to write it. If the service script runs Solr as any other user (and it should!) then Solr won't be able to open this file for writing, and because of this it won't complete the loading of that core. You should find out what user account is used by the service script, and 'chown' Solr's entire working directories tree to be owned by that user. Then, refrain from ever running Solr as 'root' or the problem may recur. Use the normal service start/stop mechanism for controlling your Solr instances. -- Mark H.
