Create configured cores - fails with user permission error about ansible-role-solr HOT 6 CLOSED

@gmcdowell - Do you have a stable solr_version set in your playbook, or do you allow the role's variable to set the version used?

Also, can you paste the full error message here? (I'm presuming you got a user permission error).

This role is intended to be run as root (using --become on the CLI or become: yes in your playbook).

@geerlingguy - Apologies. I should have been more explicit.

• setting solr_version: 6.3.0

@gmcdowell - Thanks for posting the additional info. Looks like I'll need to get some things working better for 6.3.0, as the install/core setup is a little different.
