Hi, I'm working on upgrade of our wiki 2.8 to 5.3 and at the same time , moving it to a new server with Tomcat and Oracle. The goal is to have 3 instances of wiki 5.3 on the same container (wikidgt, wikioat and wikidir) . I've configured the environment.permanentDirectory in xwiki.proprties with 3 differents values : /opt/c/xwiki/data/wikidgt/ /opt/c/xwiki/data/wikioat/ /opt/c/xwiki/data/wikidir/ but when I deploy the first instance (wikidgt), the log shows that the Solr home directory is : /opt/apache/products/tomcat-6.0.29/inst1_xwiki/work/Catalina/localhost/wikioat/solr 2014-01-21 15:37:00,420 17788 [http-8180-9] INFO o.x.s.s.i.EmbeddedSolrInstance - Starting embedded Solr server... 2014-01-21 15:37:00,447 17815 [http-8180-9] INFO o.x.s.s.i.EmbeddedSolrInstance - Using Solr home directory: /opt/apache/products/tomcat-6.0.29/inst1_xwiki/work/Catalina/localhost/wikioat/solr 2014-01-21 15:37:12,536 29904 [http-8180-9] WARN org.apache.solr.core.SolrCore - New index directory detected: old=null new=/opt/apache/products/tomcat-6.0.29/inst1_xwiki/work/Catalina/localhost/wikioat/solr/./data/index/ 2014-01-21 15:37:21,863 39231 [http-8180-9] INFO o.x.s.s.i.EmbeddedSolrInstance - Started embedded Solr server. 2014-01-21 15:37:56,883 74251 [http-8180-9] INFO or if I understand the configuration of Solr in xwiki. properties , it shoud be /opt/c/xwiki/data/wikidgt/solr I tried to add this in the WEB-INF/web.xml file of each XWiki instance, right after the root <web-app> element: <env-entry> <env-entry-name>solr/home</env-entry-name> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> <env-entry-value>/opt/curia/xwiki/bin/wikidgt/solr</env-entry-value> </env-entry> but got this error (seems it did'nt change the solr home directory but the solr CoreContainer directory : 2014-01-21 14:55:23,631 34465 [http-8180-9] INFO o.x.s.s.i.EmbeddedSolrInstance - Starting embedded Solr server... 2014-01-21 14:55:23,655 34489 [http-8180-9] INFO o.x.s.s.i.EmbeddedSolrInstance - Using Solr home directory: /opt/apache/products/tomcat-6.0.29/inst1_xwiki/work/Catalina/localhost/wikioat/solr 2014-01-21 14:55:26,230 37064 [http-8180-9] ERROR org.apache.solr.core.CoreContainer - Unable to create core: collection1 java.io.IOException: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or '/opt/curia/xwiki/bin/wikidgt/solr/collection1/conf/', cwd=/opt/apache/home/tomcat and if I deploy the second instance , i got an "OverlappingFileLockException*" *because the solr directory is the same for both instances. However, other files (e.g., "extension" and "jobs" directories) are being placed in the correct permanent direcrory. i.e., it is only SOLR that appears to be picking up an incorrect setting for "environment.permanentDirectory".

Hi Marius, So it's set in start_xwiki.sh in a stand alone configuration. But I'm deploying 3 war ( 3 instances) on a tomcat 6. So, where can I found the xwiki.data.dir parameter?
