similar to: Error on manual indexing

I have installet the Ferret gem v. 0.11.6 and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin from svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret I''ve followed the instructions here http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer to set up the server, and put acts_as_ferret :remote => true on one of my models (Ad) I can also start the ferret_server, but when

If I disable ferret in my environment file and then run a cron job every hour to index the records that have been added/changed, do I enable Ferret just in the script that does the hourly indexing? Or do I somehow need to tell the process that runs the Ferret DRB server that it should start writing to the index again? Thanks in advance. Erik

Hi, in a production environment we are running into "MySQL server has gone away" errors (see below) when we call rebuild_index in aaf. This happens sporadically. Any suggestions for what might be wrong or workarounds? I guess we try a reconnect before we call rebuild_index? Matthew ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Mysql::Error: MySQL server has gone away: SELECT count(*) AS

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

Hi, I had ferret working wonderfully but i am regretting doing a gem update today. I had alot of trouble first installing it and was really happy to have it working. The upgrade was from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0. The problem is; in the rails console, >> @results = Book.find_by_contents("peter pan") => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x487040c @total_hits=0, @results=[]> Its indexing

hi! short question about aaf: is there a builtin functionality in acts_as_ferret to exclude records from being indexed when for example a column "is_deleted" / "is_disabled" / "dont_index" has a certain value? regards neongrau -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello Jens, Will bulk_index be available in ferret 0.11.5 ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hello, I am actually indexing thousands of 1ko text documents using ferret and acts_as_ferret, and i face performance problems. I takes me hours to index 20 000 1ko text documents. Methology used : I create and object, fulfill it with the text, and save it. So it is automaticly indexed. Is there a way to make it faster ? ( remove the auto optimize option somewhere ?) Thank you if you have any

Is there any way for the automatic ''rebuild_index'' of ''acts_as_ferret'' from exclude certain records from being included in the index? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Using the Drb allows me to synchronize writes to the index in a multi mongrel environment. I was under the impression that the remote index would not block if two mongrels were searching the index. Is that the case? This line in ferret_server.rb makes me think otherwise: # Calls are not queued atm, so this will block until the call returned. # def method_missing(name,

Hi, I have a has_many association between Book and Page. I have acts_as_ferret running on only the Book model. However, when I update the a page, it calls the auto update index on the Book model as well just in case any of the ferret fields were changed. How can I stop acts_as_ferret from auto updating the index on its own, especially when nothing changes? -- Posted via

Hello. I''m trying to use acts_as_ferret to index with set conditions. Ideally I could do something like: acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :title, :body ], :conditions => ["enabled = 1"] But would settle for being able to do: @similiar_blogs = @blog.more_like_this :field_names => [ :title, :body ], :conditions => "enabled=1" What is the

I''d like to be able to enable/disable the automatic indexing of documents acts_as_ferret does. Something like MyModel.disable_indexing MyModel.enable_indexing would be perfect. I need this because I do some indexing that requires visiting the parents of the model objects and my import method imports the children first, so the information isn''t there yet. I''d like to

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

Thanks Stuart. I thought I had read somewhere that rebuild_index built the index in a different location and then swapped it, but after looking at the code (in local_index.rb) this doesn''t appear to be the case. That might explain why the ferret server crashes sometimes when a search takes place during a reindex. I wouldn''t be doing exactly the same thing as this but

I get this error when stopping the DRb server via capistrano. "no such file to load -- ferret_extensions" i see that lib/ferret_extensions is a newly required file in 0.4.1... any reason ferret can''t see it? The Rails app server starts fine. thanks j

Hi guys, I''m using attachment_fu on my site to allow users to upload pictrues. Pictures can be set to only allow friends to view them. The problem I''m having is ferret is indexing the images along with their thumbnails which means I end up with a lot of broken images in the search. Also it''s indexing images whose privacy is set to 1 (friends only). How could I go about

Hello. I''ve been trying to get multi_search to work and I simply can''t. I have two models: Post acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body], :store_class_name => true Page acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body], :store_class_name => true If I do @results = Post.find_by_contents(params[:q]) or @results = Page.find_by_contents(params[:q]) it works fine, but if I

I set up ferret and it''s running fine normally. Now I want to hook up the backgroundrb server.
