mydomain:9000/process/303-solr-SOLR_SERVER/files/logs/stderr.log.How ever when there is no such file present in file system.I do not even see the directory 303-solr-SOLR_SERVER.

I'm not sure why the user wouldn't have been created, but I know you're dealing with an offline cluster so maybe something else in the parcel installation didn't work as expected. The error seems pretty clear, though, you need the "solr" user on your systems. Have you tried manually creating that user and seeing if that helps?

Hey Clint,

Thanks man.I did create the solr user and installation worked.I am trying to figure out why it did not create the user.
