Hi, David and everyone, I''ve had Ferret running fine in a production Rails application for a while now. I haven''t updated Ferret or really looked at the Ferret-related code since probably January, but I recently started thinking about trying out the latest version (we were using 0.3.2, I think). I got the latest (0.9.4) and have noticed things break. In particular, I used to

I recently upgraded my Linux install (Debian potato to woody) and now Samba is no longer playing nice with Windows 2000. I can use smbclient on the samba machine to connect to itself, so at least that's working. The error from Windows is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired.". I deleted the smb.log file at one point in an effort to reset it. I figured it'd be created

Hi, everyone, I''m currently running a Rails 1.0 project using lighttpd-1.4.9 behind Apache 2 on RHEL 3. My fcgi process (I''m only using one right now) always hangs after some time, which is something I haven''t experienced before (e.g., I''ve run this same app. on a TextDrive account and it works fine there). So ... any ideas on what could be causing this?

...everyone, I have a RailsConf ticket available for sale or trade (your time coding on one of my projects as an alternative to paying for the ticket. I''ll also consider paying for airfare, hotel, etc.). The ticket is $400. If you''re interested in a trade, check out: http://jennyw.dangerousideas.com/articles/2006/06/16/a-ticket-to-ride-the-rails-to-chicago Jen

...uding Sarah Mei (the person I''m sending to the conference). If the logistics work out, I''ll be making a similar offer for RubyConf (this time with advance notice so people can plan for it!). If you want to hear more about the process, I wrote a blog post about it: http://jennyw.dangerousideas.com/articles/2006/06/17/railsconf-ticket-traded-anyone-want-to-go-to-rubyconf Jen

I know there''s a problem saving has_and_belongs_to_many relationships w/ Rails 1.0 in that only the first association is saved (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3213). What are people doing about this? I guess I could move to using the trunk release, but I''m hesitant because that might introduce a bunch of unknowns. Is there a workaround? For example, a way to explicitly

I''m pulling text out of a database that contains special characters, like the trademark sign. For example, a typical string might be like this: string_from_database => "Some Special Brand\231 is for sale this Thursday through Friday." The \231 is the trademark sign (TM). ERB converts this to question marks. So, my question is -- how can I get it to display the trademark

We''re evaluating reporting tools right now, both open source and closed. I saw that a bunch of people on this list have considered Jasper/iReport -- is this coincidence, or is this the best open source report writer right now? The proprietary tool we''re comparing them to is Crystal Reports. Reports will need to be editable by end users, and they''re running Mac OS

I''m not sure whether this is a bug or whether I''m simply expecting Ferret queries to work in a way other than they''re intended. I notice that if use a query like: (other_text:"Collaborative tools") AND NOT other_text:podcasts I''ll get correct search results. However, if I put parentheses around the second part, like:

Someone mentioned earlier (I can't find the message now) that they had a motherboard that allowed you to change IRQ assignments in BIOS. Does anyone happen to know how to identify motherboards that can do this? I'm going to put together a new machine now and I'm having trouble picking a motherboard for it (ordering from Dell or other online vendor is not an option, since I need

I just submitted this to Trac, including a proposed fix. I''ve never really used Trac before, so hopefully I did the right thing. Anyway, in case anyone else runs into this, the problem is that fuzzy search fails if some of your saved fields are larger than Ferret::Search::TYPICAL_LONGEST_WORD_IN_INDEX. This won''t happen in all cases where your fields are larger (for example,

Just wondering if anyone has successfully gotten Dovecot to run on Mac OS X? If so, I'd love to hear what your experience has been! Thanks! Jen

I started an earlier thread about this ... Someone suggested a different version of LightTPD, since the version I was using had some known issues with FCGI. Well, we''ve upgraded to LightTPD 1.4.11 and the problem is still happening. We have Rails running under fcgi (one process) under LightTPD. This, in turn, is proxied to by Apache. This is on a test IP, so only a few people should

Hi, I'm using Asterisk@home and am having trouble using the conference bridge that comes built in. We're using Polycom phones. When we transfer the first person into the conference room (e.g. 8101) , they get into the room fine. When we try to transfer a second person into the conference room, they get dropped as soon as we finish the transfer. This is using Polycom SoundPoint 301

I noticed that if I have a field that contains something like "Institute for medicine", that if I search using nay of these queries: for *for* for~ Nothing shows up. If I search for either of the other two words, though, that term would show up in the result set. Does this indicate that short words like "for" are not indexed? Thanks! Jen

Hi, Just wondering if people could suggest a good VoIP provider that can service the San Francisco Bay Area and the Los Angeles area. I've tried race.com (recommended to me) but they're kind of hard to get ahold of. Any other suggestions? This is for a business, so reliability is key. I did see the recent thread about this, and while I saw a few mentioned, I didn't see anything

I''m trying to use Ferret to do fuzzy searches. If I use fuzzy search for just one word, it works fine: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4'') However, if I try to use a phrase, it doesn''t work: index.search(''name:"gogle search engine"~0.4'') On the other hand, I could do: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4 AND
