["Alexandre Rafalovitch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Alexandre Rafalovitch created SOLR-6778:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Dead end UX when following README
                 Key: SOLR-6778
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6778
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 5.0
            Reporter: Alexandre Rafalovitch
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 5.0


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 ???
