   URL	The http url of the Solr server. Default value is http://127.0.0.1. If Solr is installed on a different server, use its IP address. Note: Do not use the port number as part of the URL. It will be entered in the next field.
   Port	Port number of the Solr server. Default value is 8983. If Solr is running on a different port, update this value.

   Follow the instructions to copy the template folder. In the following example, the folder C:\xampp\htdocs\thirdparty\solarium\fcskel should be copied to C:\work\solr\solr-5.3.1\server\solr\ and renamed as fccore.
   Directories and target folder name for your environment might be different.
   
   
   
4. After copying the folder, click on the 'Configure' button again.
   Upon successful configuration, a new field will appear showing the index status of all 'Managed Storage' files.
   
   
   If it is a fresh installation, there will not be any user files. All the new files will be indexed as they get uploaded.
   If it is an existing installation, there will be files already managed. Though the new files will be indexed, the existing files has to be indexed separately.
5. This can be done by clicking on the 'Index' button.
   
   
   Upon successful indexing, the following status should be shown.
   

Multi site Solr configuration is similar to the single site configuration. After a new site is created, repeat the above steps for single except in step 2, specify a unique prefix for the new site.
This will configure Solr to create separate index database for each new site.
