Description

If the solr context is changed from /solr to any other value (e.g. /solr6_0/instance/solr1), the new Admin UI does not work as it still tries to load resources from /solr prefix:

The context is changed by editing server/contexts/solr-jetty-context.xml:

<Set name="contextPath"><Property name="hostContext" default="/solr6_0/instance/solr1"/></Set>

and by changing redirect in the server/etc/jetty.xml

<New class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.RedirectRegexRule">
<Set name="regex">^/$</Set>
<Set name="replacement">/solr6_0/instance/solr1/</Set>
</New>

This affects New Admin UI, as well as both links between the UIs.

The old Admin UI seems to work with the changed context, once it is manually loaded.
