So I woke up this morning to find my shiny new Solr install had corrupted a core 😐 and I was unable to create a one in the UI

The way I solved it was to go into the cores folder (for me, /opt/solr/solr-4.10.2/example/solr), and move the core folder out of there. Then create a new folder with the name of your core, a data folder within that, and then also in there cp -R the conf folder from the corrupted core folder you moved out of there.
Then all you need to do is restart Solr, and you can now create a fresh core in the UI. Once you have that, reindex your documents, and you’re all set to go again!
Update: It happened again this morning. I think it’s because I exit my VM and vagrant halt, which usually shuts everything down gracefully. So make sure you run /opt/solr/solr-4.10.2/bin/solr stop (or equivalent) before shutting down your machine.
