I''m having some problems with getting the drb server to work correctly on my production server. As a workaround I tried disabling automatic indexing and have a cron job manually update the index every hour or so. I disabled the automatic indexing with: def ferret_enabled? false end But whenever I try Page.rebuild_index I get a ''wrong number of arguments''

I''m running Ferret 0.9.5 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.7) under Locomotive 2.0.7. I have a problem where Ferret is hanging when I try to add items to the index. It doesn''t happen with every object that''s being indexed, and I''m not sure what the objects in question have in common (they are not all instances of the same ActiveRecord object). The process

Hi, I''m having some problems with acts_as_ferret and indexing. I''ve got a simple 5 column table, and a corresponding Ruby model. I loaded 9 rows directly into the table using mysql (for live it''ll be about .5mil rows) and configured a Rails search page along the exact same lines as ferret_demo. Unfortunately, search wouldn''t return any results; following

Sorry to post twice in a row, but I also wanted help with my index rebuild process - I seem to be getting timeouts when I run the rebuild_index.rb script, like this: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:120:in `log'': Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SELECT * FROM search_queries

Hi, I''m new to using ferret (and fairly new to ruby/rails) and I''m having a problem I can''t fathom. Sorry for the long post ...

Hi, I''m running the edge Typo and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin and ferret gems (as of 11 April). In my Content model I put acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body] In the console, I call Content.rebuild_index to index all of my existing content. All the directories get created etc, but I get the following error back: Loading development environment. >>

When calling a Result.find_by_content on my model, I get the following error: Mysql::Error: Table ''db.results'' doesn''t exist: SHOW FIELDS FROM results Yes, I remembered to put acts_as_ferret. Any ideas? Trace:

Hi, We''re happily using Ferret through acts_as_ferret on a Rails website, but we have an issue with rebuilding indexes. The Rails project directories are on an NFS mounted volume and running Model.rebuld_index there seems to take 60-100 times longer than it does on a local filesystem (e.g. /tmp). What we''d like to do is rebuild our indexes in say /tmp, then copy them back when

Hi, I''m having trouble with ferret and AAF blowing up with a NoMemoryError. Sometimes when I add documents inside my rails app. Ferret starts consuming huge amounts of memory. I''m on a machine with 2GB of memory and it still runs out of memory. Sometimes I''m able to run MyObject.rebuild_index and the memory doesn''t move up at all. However, sometimes it

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'' from (druby://127.2.0.1:9100)

Gents, I successfully installed AAF on my TextDrive OpenSolaris Container, but I''m having some issues with indexing. I have a model called Blogs which has AAF enabled. The first time I tried to find_by_contents for a ''word'' I know was on the Database I got now results. Apparently the index was not ready yet. Then I waited a few hours and checked that the /index

Hi, I just installed ferret for the first time and integrated it with my app. On my dev machine it''s fine but on my production server I get this when I call find_by_contents(): Processing LinksController#results (for 24.185.105.59 at 2007-03-28 05:28:36) [POST] Session ID: 3f2dc7c17147c0e52178ba697a119833 Parameters: {"commit"=>"Search",

I''m having an odd problem with Ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3, on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4. All of my find_by_contents calls return 0 results. When I try Foo.rebuild_index via the console, it returns nil. This is happening on my production machine, during deployment of my app. Everything works perfectly on my development machine (Windows). I have no idea where to start

Previously when I used to build index i used to get false in return. >> Event.rebuild_index => false Now I get this. >> Event.rebuild_index => {} Following changes took place. 1) I moved my app from FCGI to mongrel. 2) I moved my app to capistrano. Before moving to capistrano the code was acts_as_ferret :fields => [ "name", "desc_uf" ] Now the code

Hello, I can''t figure out how to get acts_as_ferret to stop segfaulting.

I''m using acts_as_ferret and have indexed a model with acts_as_ferret :fields => [:name, :ascii_name, :alt_names], :single_index => true. Now in the index directory more than 95.000 files are generated! The number of tuples I''m indexing is approx. 86.000. I can''t remember this from earlier ferret/acts_as_ferret versions where I''ve indexed millions of

Hello I have a couple of questions, Hope someone here can help answer them. I am using acts_as_ferret on a model Item with around 10 million rows. I use Item.rebuild_index at the ruby console to build the index. It seems to run for at least 48 hours when building. My questions are: 1) How do you know when the indexing is over and complete? 2) How can you confirm that ALL records in the table

I need to reset the ferret index between test runs. It seems like there are a few ways to reset the ferret index. * Deleting the index directory -- is this really bad form? * calling rebuild_index * (any others?) What would y''all recommend? (Sorry, I''m from Texas) Preferably, I''d like a way to reset the index that I can integrate into a selenium test. -David

Hi all, I cannot make aaf (rev. 220) use my custom analyzer, despite following the indications @ http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage To pinpoint the problem, I created a model + a simple analyzer with 2 stop words : "fax" and "gsm". test 1 : model.rebuild_index + model.find_by_contents("fax") # fax is a stop word. => I get a
