solr tutorial fails to create collection - solr

Question

I'm trying to run the solr 6.6.0 tutorial and after running:
bin/solr start -e cloud -noprompt
it starts solr on ports 8983 and 7574 but fails to create the getting started collection with the following error:
ERROR: Failed to create collection 'gettingstarted' due to: {10.1.20.105:7574_solr=org.apache.solr.client.solrj.SolrServerException:IOException occured when talking to server at: http://10.1.20.105:7574/solr}
ERROR: Failed to create collection using command: [-name, gettingstarted, -shards, 2, -replicationFactor, 2, -confname, gettingstarted, -confdir, data_driven_schema_configs, -configsetsDir, /Users/rcarey/solr-6.6.0/server/solr/configsets, -solrUrl, http://localhost:8983/solr]
It looks like its trying to create each replica on a different ip, rather than a different port on the same ip. 10.1.20.105 is not the IP that the 8983 replica is using. I'm not sure if theres something additional I need to configure for this so that it uses the one IP for both. I have the host set to localhost.
The Solr Admin is available on both http://localhost:8983/solr and http://localhost:7574/solr
I get the following in the log:

Help me to fix this.

I had the same issue. In bin/solr.in.sh, I uncommented and set the following:
SOLR_HOST="localhost"
Then things worked because solr communicated with the server via "localhost" instead of an IP, which had a timeout. Fixing the error:
SolrServerException:IOException occured when talking to server at: http://YOUR_IP/solr
