Hi Olson, You are correct v.base_dir parameter is not used at all after SOLR-4882. "{corename}/conf/velocity" is the only option. solr.allow.unsafe.resourceloading system property does not affect this behavior.
Wiki needs update. (confluence does not mention v.base_dir parameter) Do you want to add your findings to velocity wiki page? P.S. If you don't have a wiki account anyone can create it. But to edit the wiki, your username should be added wiki contributors group. This is achieved by sending an e-mail to solr user mailing list. On Wednesday, December 11, 2013 10:49 PM, O.

If you look at the VelocityResponseWriter at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/dev/branches/lucene_solr_4_6/solr/contrib/velocity/src/java/org/apache/solr/response/VelocityResponseWriter.java?revision=1541081&view=markup nowhere does it use v.base_dir. So it seems that you need to name the velocity template directory as "velocity". (I tried to set it to "/corename/conf/velocity" and it works without any errors.) Thank you, O.
