Im using CDH 5 and was following the below tutorial to set up Cloudera Search using Solr.

http://beta.cloudera.com/search/docs/Cloudera-Search-Installation-Guide.pdf

The installation worked fine and I was ablt to go to the Solr admin console. And in my configuration Zookeeper, YARN and Solr all are running in the same VM and all of them as single node clusters. After making sure the isntallation worked and admin UI for Solr worked. I tried setting up the configuration files for the samples using the following commands

solrctl instancedir --create collection1 $HOME/solr_configs

And after that I get error stating "Error: can't upload configuration". When checked the log file I get the following error
