How do I get Solr back up when indexes are locked and true doesn't work?

Question

I have a Solr slave that is running in Tomcat. I added a core, so I changed solr.xml. To reload it I decided to simply restart Tomcat using the Windows Services managament conso

Answer 1

Clear the index directory and restart solr. It will work

Answer 2

Delete only write.log in data/index . Where is data directory is specified in conf/solrconfig.xml.

Answer 3

In case the other answers don't work, check your file permissions. In my case, I had to do a

chown -R tomcat6:tomcat6 /opt/solr/corename

Answer 4

Just deleted write.lock file under Solr > My Core > data > Index > write.lock file and restart solr server and it's worked.

Answer 5

Delete file write.log in folder /data/index/ for your core then restart tomcat. It worked for me.
