You are going to have to be more specific than "this just made things unhappy."

When I tried removing wcm in 4.2 the main problem was a lot of messages in the logs from solr about missing content models which caused the solr indexing to fail hence much unhappiness.

I was hoping that there would be some documentation on how to handle this as I'm assuming it's a fairly common problem now that wcm has been dropped in 5 but I couldn't find anything.

In 4.2 I ended up putting wcm back in, as it wasn't doing any harm, but that's not an option now.

Thanks

I think the upgrade path to 5.0 is to re-index with solr4. The need for a re-index is one of the reasons that 5.0 is a major release. You can use the lucene index (and probably the old solr index) for a short period while you upgrade and wait for the solr 4 index.

Hopefully someone will write some detailed instructions soon.
