[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-6778) Dead end UX when following README

["Timothy Potter (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6778?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Timothy Potter updated SOLR-6778:
---------------------------------
    Attachment: SOLR-6778.patch

Here are some updates to the top-level README.txt

However, we also need UI support for configsets mentioned in SOLR-6767 so that creating a core from the UI is doable. Also, there's been some work on adding better collections support to the UI, which would also be great to have.

> After 'downloading' (building) Solr 5 distribution, the README says:
> {quote}
> To start Solr for the first time after installation, simply do:
>   bin/solr start -f
> {quote}
> That will bring Solr server up, but there is no longer a *collection1*, so we get *no cores* message, clicking on which brings up an "Add new core" dialogue.
> Which - of course - does not actually allow us to create a new core but will just complain bitterly that one does not exist on the file system. And the server will throw a scary stack exception.
> We have a catch-22 here. So, either the README needs to go into *run an example* sequence or ???
