Ferret talk - Apr 2006 - index_dir path

Hi,

I am running several applications, and I need them to share their 
indexed data. So instead of putting my index in the default location of

RAILS_ROOT/index/RAILS_ENV

I want it to appear in

RAILS_ROOT/../index/RAILS_ENV

(ie in the parent directory of each of my root directories ... I have 
three apps working together)

In the acts_as_ferret file, I have changed line 73 to: index_base = 
"#{RAILS_ROOT}/../index"

In my console, I can see that the new path is reflected properly.
>> MyModel.class_index_dir
=> "./script/../config/../config/../../index/development/MyModel"


However, the index is STILL placed in the default location of 
RAILS_ROOT/index/RAILS_ENV


Any ideas .... ?

Thanks
Joerg

just guessing, maybe your running app doesn''t use your patched 
acts_as_ferret.rb ?

I just tried to reproduce the problem, but everything worked fine here.

Just did an SVN update now, and I am still having the same problem. 
Maybe I was a bit vague ... Basically, I want this structure:

index
  production
    content
  development
    content
myapp_1
  app
  components
  config
  db
  doc
  lib
  ...
myapp_2
  app
  components
  config
  db
  doc
  lib
  ...

As opposed to having the index folder inside each application. For this 
I changed line 73 (inacts_as_ferret) to

index_base = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/../index"

This should work ... but it still creates the index folder inside the 
application folder. Using the console, however, reveals that it has 
picked up this index_base change - but seems to be ignoring it.

I''m running XP. Let me know if I can give you any more information.

Thanks
Joerg
