Ok, I think I found an alternative. With Solr 1.3, trying to reload the core from the browser using: http://localhost:8984/solr/admin/cores?action=RELOAD\&core=core1
doesn't work (this problem does not happen with nightly build). But I use curl as in: curl http://localhost:8984/solr/admin/cores?action=RELOAD\&core=core1 I'm able to reload the core multiple times. So, there is something amiss about Solr 1.3 responding to requests sent through the browser (Firefox/IE) versus using curl. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Core-not-reloading-in-Solr-1.3-tp24654530p24689221.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
