I need a way to kill the ferret_server drb process programatically, so I can start/stop it as part of the capistrano deployment process. This should be as simple as adding some sort of stop method to ActsAsFerret::Remote::Server. I was just messing around and was able to do it by modifying method_missing to look for the :stop method a...

...I nailed it down to a deployment issue, where an old instance of ferret drb was running. I don''t understand the details quite yet, but the result was the the old ferret was never shutdown during redeployment, and attempts were made to start up a new one. Anywho, I stumbled acroess the ferret_server.log and ferret_index.log, is it correctly understood, that ferret_server.log is basically the drb server output, while ferret_index.log is the index manager output? A bonus question, what''s the best way to determine that your application (using acts_as_ferret) is currently running agai...

I''ve installed the ferret gem. I installed AAF as a plugin into my vendor/plugins directory of my project. In development environment my searches work just fine, without any problems. For production I configured the ferret_server.yml file with correct information about the machine my DRb server is running on. I start the ferret server with the following command: ruby script/runner ''load "script/ferret_start"'' The DRb server seems to be starting fine. I get: Starting ferret DRb server...Done....

Anyways, I then decided to specify development environment in the ferret_server.yml Here is how it''s setup: development: host: localhost port: 3000 (my rails app port) Sure enough I don''t get that error anymore and my development server boots up just fine. However, whe...

I''ve been running the super latest AAF plugin with a mongrel cluster/ferret_server combo smoothly for a few days in production mode, indexing 4 models with no surprises. Only now when I try including some new Models to be indexed, the ferret_server fails to index with ferret server error undefined method `_'' for Summary:Class (it creates the dir on index/production, t...

Hi, Having recently converted to using ferret_server on my staging site my deployment is now failing due to the following error when attempting to rebuild the indexes on my models: from (irb):1>> Post.rebuild_index Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - script from (druby://127.2.0.1:9100) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:243:in `mkdir...

AFAICT, ferret_server should be able to handle multiple clients writing to it at once, since ferret itself is thread safe. However, it''s not clear whether running concurrent index rebuilds on different would be possible, since they run inside ferret_server. Anyone have experience with this? -ryan

Hi, I seem to have rather silly problem. I''m trying to run the script for the DRb server in the acts_as_ferret trunk for setting up a centralized index server. When I try to run script/runner vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/script/ferret_server, I get a ruby error /opt/csw/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/runner.rb:27: undefined local variable or method `vendor'' for #<Object:0x8090300> (NameError) from /opt/csw/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `eval'' from /opt/...

Hi, I''m using acts_as_ferret in with a mongrel and I'' m getting locking errors that after a while result in a corrupt database. I know about the problem with different processes writing to the index but I haven''t been able to get the DRB server working properly yet. I read on this list that another solution is to set :auto_flush to true but I''m not

...to track down the cause or work around the problem. Unfortunately I haven''t found a way to reproduce the problem, but it seems to happen fairly often (maybe once a day). Other then that ferret seems to be working well. I can''t seem to find any trace of the crash, neither of the ferret_server.out (blank) and ferret_server.log (tail -n 100 after a crash attached below) seem to hold any hints to the problem. So my questions are. 1. Has anyone seen this behavior before, how did you work around it? 2. If no one has seen it, any ideas of where I should look to track it down? 3. Last if I c...

...like to consider the following scenario: Server 1: front-end web server + mongrel cluster Server 2: Ferret DRb server Server 3: MySQL database My question is related to Server 2? Exactly what is it that I have to deploy to that computer to have a Ferret DRb server? I understand that on Server 1, ferret_server.yml should have a production entry that points to Server 2, and that all the models on Server 1 need :remote => :true. But what lives on server 2? Do I just deploy the models folder, the config folder and the scripts folder? Or do I deploy an entire copy of the web site code? I haven''t...

Hi, we still have the problem in that the Ferret Drb server dies on us sometimes.
