Hi, I seem to have the same issue here.
I'm running a very simple Solr server in standalone mode, using a DIH with the following datasource in *dataconfig.xml* : It works fine. Then I stop the standalone server, empty the data directory, and start a cluster with an embedded ZooKeeper, just by changing the command line to this one (called from the */danny* directory) : The Solr cloud starts without problems. Then I go in the admin interface, in the *Dataimport* page of the core, to execute a data import. But now the *Entity* dropdown list is empty, and I get this error in the log : So it looks like the same problem deniz had. I don't understand what does /configs/danny_conf/ represents for ZooKeeper ? Is it a /real/ path, or a /virtual/ one ? I created a symbolic link that allowed the path /configs/danny_conf//danny/solr/core1/conf/data-config.xml to be actually readable, but I still had the error, so I guess it's not a real path that ZooKeeper is looking for. In the admin interface, under *Cloud > Tree*, I can see under /configs/danny_conf/ that all the files that are listed are actually the files that are under this real path : /danny/solr/core1/conf/ (like data-config.xml for example). But I still don't understand what's going on... Also, I didn't understand Mark Miller's tip : Mark Miller-3 wrote > As a workaround, try explicitly setting the directory to write the > properties file in with the "directory" param.

Thanks for any help here :) Danny. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/SolrCloud-Fails-to-read-db-config-file-tp4022299p4122963.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
