^^ This would be the problem. The process starting Solr doesn't seem to have the ability to use /usr/bin/su to switch to the solr user (and thus start Solr as that user). It is inadvisable to run Solr as root. https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/releases/solr/9.10.1/solr/bin/init.d/solr On Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 2:12 PM Gadsby, Eric T. via users < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks!
