solr6

I've installed Solr 6 on a Digital Ocean ubuntu instance: install_solr_service.sh solr-6.1.0.tgz and verified that Solr is running. However, I cannot create any cores, either through the UI or at the command line. I've tried various different permutations of: sudo ./solr create -c netest including sudo ./solr create -c netest -d /opt/solr/server/solr/configsets/basic_configs/conf/ but it always gives me: ERROR: Error CREATEing SolrCore 'netest': Unable to create core [netest] Caused by: /var/solr/data/netest/data If I create the directory in advance: sudo mkdir /var/solr/data/netest/ sudo

I'd like to start a solr core (version 6.0.1) on Windows Server 2012 R2(command is: bin\solr.cmd start), and keep it running after logging off. I'd also like to run it under an account other than my own, and I'd like it to start up automatically. I came across this post, How to run solr on a windows server so it starts up automatically? , but it was from 6 years ago, so I thought there may be a new way with the new version. Also, the new version I have is not running on Tomcat. It acts as it's own server, which is another difference from the version in the example. Thanks! You can use NSSM to
