setting hostPort for SolrCloud
Can hostPort for SolrCloud only be set in solr.xml? I tried setting the
system property hostPort and jetty.port on the Java command line but
neither of them work.

It is set in solr.xml, but solr.xml has a syntax that allows you to set values by system properties.
By default solr.xml is setup so that the jetty.port system property should set the hostPort. I'm sure that works in general, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you.
Can you provide your solr.xml?

Yup, solr.xml is pretty much required - especially if you want to use solrcloud.
The only reason anything works without is for back compat.
We are working towards removing the need for it, but's considered required these days.

Re: setting hostPort for SolrCloud
Posted by Bill Au <bi...@gmail.com>.
I actually was not using a solr.xml. I am only using a single core. I am
using the default core name collection1. I know for sure I will not be
using more than a single core so I did not bother with having a solr.xml.
Is that a bad thing?
Everything works when I had tomcat config to run on port 8983. But once I
configure tomcat to use a different port, I notice that SolrCloud is still
using port 8983 so it wasn't working. I then tried adding
"-Djetty.port=8000" and "-DhostPort=8000" to the environment variable
JAVA_OPTS before running the tomcat start script bin/startup.sh. But
SolrCloud was still using 8983. I ended up setting hostPort in solr.xml
and got things working.
It solr.xml is required, then I can just set the port for SolrCloud in
there. But I was hoping I did not have to bother with solr.xml at all.
One less configuration file, one less thing that can go wrong.

Re: setting hostPort for SolrCloud
Posted by Mark Miller <ma...@gmail.com>.
Be aware that you still have to setup tomcat to run Solr on the right port - and you also have to provide the port to Solr on startup. With jetty we do both with -Djetty.port - with Tomcat you have to setup Tomcat to run on the right port *and* tell Solr what that port is. By default that means also passing -Djetty.port - but you can change that to whatever you want in solr.xml (to hostPort or solr.port or whatever).
The problem is that it's difficult for a webapp to find what ports it's running on - you can only do it when a request actually comes in to my knowledge.

I am using tomcat. In my tomcat start script I have tried setting system
properties with both
-Djetty.port=8080
and
-DhostPort=8080
but neither changed the host port for SolrCloud. It still uses the default
8983.

Solr runs in a container and the container controls the port. So, you need
to tell the container which port to use.
For example,
java -Djetty.port=8180 -jar start.jar

Can hostPort for SolrCloud only be set in solr.xml? I tried setting the
system property hostPort and jetty.port on the Java command line but
neither of them work.
