Thanks Again. Another question:
My solr.xml has: <cores adminPath="/admin/cores" defaultCoreName="master1"> <core name="master1" instanceDir="." shard="shard1" collection="myconf"/> </cores> And I omitted -Dcollection.configName=myconf from the startup command because I felt that specifying collection="myconf" should take care of that: cd /trunk/solr/example java -Dbootstrap_confdir=./solr/conf -Dslave=disabled -DzkRun -jar start.jar But the zookeeper.jsp page doesn't seem to take any of that into effect and shows: /collections (v=6 children=1) collection1 (v=0 children=1) "configName=configuration1" shards (v=0 children=1) shard1 (v=0 children=1) tiklup-mac.local:8983_solr_ (v=0) "node_name=tiklup-mac.local:8983_solr url=http://tiklup-mac.local:8983/solr/" Then what is the point of naming the core and the collection? - Pulkit 2011/9/9 Yury Kats <yuryk...@yahoo.com>: > On 9/9/2011 10:52 AM, Pulkit Singhal wrote: >> Thank You Yury.
