Summary

Using Ubuntu 16.04 as box.

I tried installing Solr 6 using the Drupal VM; when installing I noticed that you can't create the cores with the root user. Thankfully this was already fixed in the new V4 of Drupal VM.

After updating to this new version I got the above error.

The fix is actually quite simple; you need to install the "acl" package in the VM. However, installing Solr is done before executing the "extra_packages". Because of this, as of right now I don't know how to fix this issue other than create a pre-provisioning script to install the acl package.

Hmm, this looks like there's something else potentially non-default, but I'll try to reproduce the issue locally. Besides adding solr to installed_extras, are there any other changes you've made to your Drupal VM configuration?

[geerlingguy]

Ah, can reproduce the issue on 16.04. http://stackoverflow.com/a/36681626/100134

[geerlingguy]

Fixed via latest Solr role (see above commit).

Just ran into this same error when changing the composer global package user.

@oxyc - Hmm... using the latest version of Drupal VM?

[oxyc]

No the project is a bit outdated. I'll try updating
