On a debian production server and my os x development mcahine, there is a script at /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails On an ubuntu 7.1 machine, this script appears at /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/mongrel_rails mongrel was installed using gem in all cases. What is the cause of the discrepancy? Thanks, John -- John Joseph Bachir http://lyceum.ibiblio.org http://blog.johnjosephbachir.org

Hi folks. Using mongrel_rails and the mongrel_cluster capistrano recipes, I often encounter a situation where some of the mongrel processes don''t die in time to be restarted. The output of capistrano will tell me something like "mongrel on port 8001 is already up", but that''s only because capistrano/mongrel_rails failed to take it down in the first place. The solution

Just as I was composing an elaborate email illustrating that capistrano version detection was broken, I realized that 1.0.5 fixed the problem :) While we''re on the topic of code changes-- where is the mongrel_cluster subversion repository? I looked all over the mongrel site, sorry if I''m missing something obvious. Thanks, John -- John Joseph Bachir http://lyceum.ibiblio.org

If I''m running two rails apps on the same server using Unicorn, I have to run two instances of Unicorn, right? If so, then here''s a place where passenger might win in terms of memory use, as the rails code will be loaded into memory twice, right? I''m still probably going with Unicorn, but just exploring this first. Thanks, John

I''m having problems getting the DRb server running with the aaf gem. I tried it with the plugin installed in my application, and it worked. I suspect the problem has something to do with the startup scripts expecting certain files to be in certain relative file paths. Any insights are appreciated, and maybe if you have time you can update the wiki document :) Thanks for a great

Ok, here's one for the idiot file. I just installed dovecot-1.0.4 on my personal system for testing, a system which has to be the simplest dovecot configuration possible. deliver is barking about something with which version 1.0.3 has no problem. I looked over the wiki, googled, and see nothing wrong. The error: deliver(jjb): Sep 07 21:39:40 Fatal: Failed to create storage for

Is it possible to query the index for a TermEnum for all fields in the index instead of just ? Thanks, John

How are ruby nil values represented in the index? Thanks, John

Here''s an interesting problem: In my app, we are indexing various types of documents, including microsoft powerpoint. Powerpoint documents are mostly binary, but have a bunch of text (all of the text in the document?) as well. My thinking is that the binary will never get searched for, and the proper text will be indexed and queried as expected, so the indexed binary will never

I had sort-by-date working almost perfectly with my app. It was behaving as expected for most data, but had a few hiccups with certain data. I investigated and discovered that the correct data was storing this in my ferret index: "1999-10-18 00:00:00" and the incorrect data was storing this: "Mon Oct 18 00:00:00 EDT 1999" (oops...) So I of course had to fix the

I am using AAF trunk, and I want a way to rebuild an index on a production site with little or no interruption to service. The Drb Server documentation* states that when an index is rebuilt, it is done in a separate location and then swapped into place when finished, and so to do a complete rebuild on a live site, one must take into consideration objects which have been created or

We would like to show a list of "most recently added terms", meaning, the results of this query: Resource.aaf_index.ferret_index.reader.terms(:summary) BUT, only returning terms from a certain set of documents (in our case, we are going to filter by creation data). Is this possible? Thanks, John

Is there any somewhat standard way to remove or otherwise handle special or syntax characters from a user''s search, such as a colon? I was thinking maybe there was something akin to Ferret::Analysis::FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS, like Ferret::Analysis::FERRET_SYNTAX_CHARS, but no such luck. How are other folks dealing with filtering user input? John

This is important and may be affecting you if you use :select to minimize the columns you need on big queries. If you use :select to define which columns you need and you have not included all the columns you defined in the :acts_as_ferret field definitions you''ll clear the content of those fields on the ferret index. And that may corrupt your index. So, if you have in your model:

Thanks to all of you who are answering my dumb questions about my new CentOS instgallation. I modified /etc/hosts, as the hostname man page seemed to suggest, and rebooted. The hostname is still localhost. I want to change it to jjb-centos. I also want to change the domain name to abilitiessoft.com Thanks, John -- John J.

Hi, I am just wondering if there''s a way to get all the words from an index. Basically, all the words that have been indexed (excluding the stopwords if I''m using the stopwords analyzer, etc.) The fields I''m putting in are not :stored in the index. The idea is to implement a "did you mean?" mecanism, which is based on the content of the index, not on a

With AAF I am seeing a strange situation, where a result set has 1 element, but the element is nil, or perhaps sometimes an empty array. I realize this isn''t much to go by, but the rest of my system, and seemingly parallel queries, are working fine. Any suggestions are much appreciated. John
