Hi, I have acts as ferret working ok on the production server with the built in drb server. Locally i can get the server running ok but get the following errors when trying to run a search within an app undefined method `find_with_ferret'' for #<Class:0x2f4c3e0> undefined method `ferret_rank='' for #<Product:0x302643c> Using the console the search actually returns the expected the results which is baffling me a bit. So Product.find_with_ferret(''test'') will work in the console but not in the application. I have the same version of ferret locally as i do on the production server. I can rebuild the indexes ok. The indexes i have are sharedindex, see below, ActsAsFerret::define_index(''shared'', :models => { Product => {:fields => [:name, :desc, :meta_keywords, :meta_desc, :manufacturer_name],:remote => true}, HostApplication => {:fields => [:name, :desc, :meta_keywords, :meta_desc], :remote => true}, Manufacturer => {:fields => [:name, :desc, :meta_keywords, :meta_desc], :remote => true}, Category => {:fields => [:name, :desc, :meta_keywords, :meta_desc], :remote => true} } ) Has anybody got any ideas whats wrong? Ive searched around google with no joy. My dev env is mac, ruby 1.8.7, Rails 2.3.2, JB -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
