How do I tell solr where my document collection is? <p>My sysadmin installed <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/solr/" rel="nofollow">solr</a> here: <code>/software/packages/solr-4.3.1/</code> I followed the <a href="http://lucene.apache.org/solr/4_3_1/tutorial.html" rel="nofollow">tutorial</a> (using Jetty) successfully. We have a working installation and things work as expected. I also, using <a href="http://www.solarium-project.org/" rel="nofollow">Solarium</a>, can query the example/collection1 document set from my website.</p> <p>Now I want to create my own document set that will live outsite of <code>/software/packages/solr-4.3.1/</code> but still use the instance of solr that lives in <code>/software/packages/solr-4.3.1/</code>. I copied over the example directory to <code>/path/to/mydocs</code>. I tried to go through the tutorial again from the new location. No dice. How do I tell solr where my document collection is?</p>
