Just tried linking the native solrconfig.xml to tomcat/lib and tomcat/webapps/solr/WEB-INF/lib.
Still no luck.
Also tried resetting solr home path via JAVA_OPTS…same as above.

The exact messages I get are

INFO: Solr home set to '/data/alf40/alf_data/solr/workspace-SpacesStore\'
SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't find resource 'solrconfig.xml' in classpath or '/data/alf40/alf_data/solr/workspace-SpacesStore\conf/',

+ corresponding message for second solr core indexing the Archive SpacesStore.

Please Advise

Ok Guys I Got it.

Don't know who it was but some guy edited solr.home/solr.xml to look like that

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><solr sharedLib="lib" persistent="true">
<cores adminPath="/admin/cores" adminHandler="org.alfresco.solr.AlfrescoCoreAdminHandler">
<core name="archive" instanceDir="archive-SpacesStore\"/>
<core name="alfresco" instanceDir="workspace-SpacesStore\"/>
</cores>
</solr>

Note the Backslash.

Remove it and it will work.

Question to alfresco devs….are you really testing the builds on windows?

Alfresco is tested on a variety of platforms, windows included.

That does look incorrect. I've raised a bug: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-14631

Thanks for raising the bug in JIRA. (which is indeed very humerous)
I'm going to test the fix against the latest HEAD build right away.
