Hmm, I think I''ve hit a similar problem. I''ve just upgraded to
the
latest ferret trunk from an old aaf stable where the script/ferret_start 
and script/ferret_stop scripts were still in use.

now if I call the old script...

RAILS_ENV=production script/ferret_start
script/ferret_start:25:in `load'': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) 
(ArgumentError)
        from script/ferret_start:25

but if I call the new script...

ruby script/ferret_server -e production stop
no such file to load -- /usr/bin/../config/environment

so I am confused! Pretty sure the latest aaf drb server is not 
compatible with the info in 
http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer . Happy to 
help edit that when we figure this out.

yeah, this happens because I use ENV[''_''] to determine the
location of
the Rails environment file. When calling the script as argument to the
ruby binary, ENV[''_''] points there and not to the script. 

So if you make script/ferret_server executable and ensure the first line
points to your ruby binary it should work.

Or edit aaf''s server_manager.rb and use __FILE__ instead of
ENV[''_''] -
this will work as long as you have aaf installed in your project and 
don''t use the acts_as_ferret gem.

I''ll happily apply a patch which will help get around these annoying
problems and make the script work under all circumstances (using aaf gem 
or not, calling with explicit Ruby interpreter or not).


Cheers,
Jens
