I will explain the scenario just to avoid all the potential replies asking why.
We run coldFusion servers (windows) which has SOLR built in (running on Jetty). A customer creates a collection which is stored within their own webspace, they only have read/write access to their own webspace so cannot put them anywhere else. the default value for abortOnConfigurationError is true. This causes endless problems when customers make changes to their websites or cancel their hosting, the collection gets deleted, and SOLR then crashes because it cannot find the config files for that collection. We then have to find out which collection is causing the problem, and manually remove its entry from solr.xml Obviously this is a PITA. In the error output it says. If you want solr to continue after configuration errors, change: <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError> in solr.xml I have tried this, but it has no effect. I have also tried putting it in all the solrconfig.xml files I tried this <abortOnConfigurationError>${solr.abortOnConfigurationError:false}</abortOnConfigurationError> and this <abortOnConfigurationError>false</abortOnConfigurationError> neither had any effect. How do you get this to work ? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/how-to-get-abortOnConfigurationError-false-working-tp4034149.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
