Zookeeper + Solrcloud create collection using given configuration
<p>I am working on a project (with no documentation) which uses Zookeeper + Solrcloud and I am trying to run it only on my laptop for now (a Windows machine). <br>
I have installed Solr (5.0.0) and Zookeeper (3.4.8).<br>
I have the Solr configuration files ( solrconfig.xml, schema.xml, etc.) in a folder in my filesystem (D:/mySolrConfiguration/). <br>
So I start Zookeeper and Solr and after that I run the command zkCli as follows:</p>

<pre><code>zkcli.bat -zkhost localhost:2181 -cmd upconfig -confdir D:/mySolrConfiguration -confname my-config
</code></pre>

<p>Then I go to Solr and I try to create a new collection based on my configuration (my-conf), but Solr complains saying "<em>No config set found to associate with the collection</em>"<br>
In order to create the collection I hit the following URL in the browser:</p>

<pre><code>http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&amp;name=myCollection&amp;collection.configname=my-config&amp;numShards=1
</code></pre>

<p>I tried also to use linkconfig just before the collection creation as follows:</p>

<pre><code>zkcli.bat -zkhost localhost:2181 -cmd linkconfig -collection myCollection -confname my-config
</code></pre>

<p>But it does not change the outcome.
In the past I was also able to create a configuration, but I cannot see it in any folder is Solr, and there is a collection based on this configuration.
But, if I try to create a new collection based on that configuration I get the same error as above "<em>No config set found to associate with the collection</em>".<br>
Did anybody have any similar issue with Solr+Zookeeper in the past? <br>
What am I missing?</p>
