You can solve the problem with the following steps:

1. Check whether the directories with the right files are exist:

   • /opt/solr/server/gettingstarted/conf/solrconfig.xml
   • /opt/solr/server/gettingstarted/conf/schema.xml
   • /opt/solr/server/gettingstarted/data

2. then open the Core Admin, "Add new core", enter the right directory/file names and add the core to the system. Actually it will give you an error message that the core already exists. Refresh the admin webpage in the browser and it will automatically load this core now without any error message.
