Question

I have solr clouds 5.2.1. I deploy solr and zookeeper. When I try to create a core this errors are throwing :

I created contracts inside of C:\CM_10.1.0\INDEXSERVER\searchserver-distribution\target\searchserver\solr\server and copied " conf" folder which is in solr\configsets\basic_configs" into contracts. But problem didn't solved.
I do need help to solve this problem. Does anyone help me?
Thanks

Since you are using the zookeeper, you must first send the config files to the zookeeper. I'm not sure how it is in Windows :P, but in Linux it would be:
cd /searchserver/solr/server/scripts/cloud-scripts
./zkcli.sh -cmd upconfig -confdir /searchserver/solr/server/solr/corename/conf -confname myconfname -z zoo1:2181,zoo2:2181,zoo3:2181
In Windows, use zkcli.bat in the same directory.
Another way to do this is by adding
SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -Dbootstrap_confdir=./solr/corename/conf/"
SOLR_OPTS="$SOLR_OPTS -Dcollection.configName=myconfname"
to the solr.in.sh file, then (re)starting solr. In Windows, the file is solr.in.cmd, and you add the following lines:
set SOLR_OPTS=%SOLR_OPTS% -Dbootstrap_confdir=./solr/corename/conf/
set SOLR_OPTS=%SOLR_OPTS% -Dcollection.configName=myconfname
The solr.in.sh/solr.in.cmd file is included into the solr (colr.cmd) command that you use to start the solr server. Myconfname above (in both methods) is an arbitrary name you give to indicate the sets of config files that you've added to the zookeeper. Then you can create the core using the collections API:
http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/collections?action=CREATE&name=coreName&numShards=2&shards=shard1,shard2&collection.configName=myconfname&createNodeSet=localhost:8983_solr
