Just a quick note for future reference - at least for me, ferret won''t work on Ruby 1.8.4. gem install ferret Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32 ruby -v ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32] irb irb(main):001:0> require ''ferret'' A windows error message box appears - ruby.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point rb_w32_write could not be

I''m having a strange problem accessing a 1.7GB Ferret index from within Mongrel (1.0.1) on Linux. On OSX a Ferret search through Rails takes a fraction of a second. From the command line, bypassing Mongrel, the search takes about the same amount of time. On Fedora Core 4 a Ferret search from the command line takes a fraction of a second, but the same search through Mongrel never

Hello, I''m running Mongrel 0.3.13.3, cluster 0.2.0, and Rails 1.1.6 and I have a problem with a sweeper not having access to the controller instance.

I have Mongrel Cluster setup with Apache a mod_proxy_balancer. I''ve seen (from time to time) mongrel instances become non-responsive. Is there anyway to configure the balancer so that it "knows" which processes are no longer good and stops trying to use them? _______________________________________________________ The FREE service that prevents junk email

I just had an interesting issue on a production system that has been running nicely for about a year. There were approximately 10,000 backgroundrb temp files in the /tmp directory. It looks like backgroundrb wasn''t cleaning them up. I noticed it with the following error: DRb::DRbConnError: drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrb.20015/ backgroundrb_logger_0_0.101544829808665 -

Quick question. Say I have a geographical database with counties and zip codes where counties have and belong to many zip codes. zip_codes (id, zip_code) counties (id, name) When I create the association table, the Rails way says to do the following: counties_zip_codes (county_id, zip_code_id). However, given that zip_codes.zip_code is itself a candidate key, I would much prefer to do the

I''m working on upgrading to rails 1.2.2 from 1.1.6 and getting the mongrel error below in development mode. Now things seem to work fine with 1.1.6and 1.2.2 (in prod mode). Any ideas what might cause this? Googling gave me very little to work with. This was the closest thing i found http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6716 I''m running Ubuntu with mongrel 1.0.1 and fastthread

I was optimizing a 650MB using ferret (0.11.3) and I received the following error. I''ve seen some people have similar issues but I haven''t seen any resolutions. The contents of the index directory follow the error. Has anyone seen anything like this and found a resolution? Many thanks. /mnt/apps/search/releases/20070622175637/script/../config/../vendor/

I''m having some issues with Workers dying after a period of several hours. Each worker runs a loop that asks Amazon SQS for work to do. If there is a message in the queue the work is completed (image processing, etc...); if there is no message the worker will sleep for X seconds (sleep 10, etc...). I''ve noticed that the workers will frequently exhibit two negative

If I''m not mistaken, BackgroundRB itself redirect STDOUT. Daemons redirects STDOUT to dev/null. What are your thoughts on re-re- directing STDOUT? I''d like to use an existing library within BackgroundRB that has extensive use of puts, and I''m not sure of the best way to get that output back in a useful place. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Back in September (http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ferret-talk/2006- September/001210.html) Dave said: "Another use-case might be to have multiple indexes to speed up indexing. If for example you are scraping websites it is a very good idea to have multiple scraping processes. The best way to do this is to have each process indexing to its own index. You could then search all indexes

I have a 1.7GB index with 440818 documents. Queries that take 0.23846 seconds on my MacBook pro take an indefinite period of time on a Fedora Core 4 EC2 instance. Five minutes and counting...I''m using Ferret 0.11.3. I don''t see any errors in the logs. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

I have a problem uploading files into a MySQL database (4.1.18) using Lighttpd (1.4.11) and the MySQL C api (2.7). All the files that I upload are truncated at about 65K, though, the temp file is the correct length. No errors are thrown and the max_allowed_packet is set to 10GB. I''m running on OSX. Any thoughts or pointers are much appreciated.

Does anyone have MySQL replication set up for a Rails App that uses migrations? I''m having an issue where every time I run a migration Rails is trying to create the schema_info table. Mysql::Error: Table ''schema_info'' already exists: CREATE TABLE schema_info (version int(11)) This causes a problem on the slave databases where the replicated create table statement

In my environment.rb I say the following: MyModel.disable_ferret puts MyModel.ferret_enabled? The console works as expected: script/console false >> MyModel.ferret_enabled? => false I can then edit an instance, ferret remains disabled and the changes are not immediately indexed. However, when I start mongrel Ferret is initially disabled, but then somehow becomes enabled again
