I'm trying to set up a solr cloud instance on ubuntu and am having this issue (5 years later, under solr 9): solr installation, cannot start examples
The suggested solution (chown solr.solr...) does not work for me, nor can I run solr as root.
As a last resort, I tried forcing solr start as root: bin/solr start -e cloud -force
but it still errors with permissions:
ERROR: Logs directory /opt/solr/example/cloud/node1/solr/../logs could not be created.
Anyone have a solution to this under solr 9?
