I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

I''m using ferret and acts_as_ferret,i can success save record,but sometimes when i update record,index not found error occurred(not always).I don''t know why:( [quote] File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117 in xpop_context Error occured in fs_store.c:329 - fs_open_input tried to open "/home/dev/www/index/development/rcu/_12q.cfs" but it doesn''t

Gents, I installed ferret successfully in my MacOS (rails development) using the gem install. I did some tests and everything worked fine. Then I tried to install it on the same way on my production environment at TextDrive? running OpenSolaris? (container). This time ''gem install ferret'' seems to be completed: [92140-AA:~/web/labs/blogblogs/trunk] root# gem install ferret

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 ...

Dave and all, I run a medium RoR app using Ferret and acts_as_ferret. I get a lot of lock errors. Not always but around 5% of all searches (aspecially during peak periods). Here are the messages I get: A NameError occurred in szukaj#index: uninitialized constant Ferret::Index::Index::LockError [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:478:in

There is serious memory leak bug in ferret. I''m having this error on TextDrive Container (aka. Joyent Accelerators) OpenSolaris with Ferret 0.11.4 It happens while searching for some terms with accented or special characters. This makes ferret to allocate lots of memory (usually reaching 3+ GB) and failing if another query like this is executed. Any ideas on that, could this be locale

Hi, had my local linux box setup and ferret was working like a champ via Webrick. However, when I moved to a different linux box using Apache web server, search no worky..giving the error listed below. The site itself comes up fine. I''ve tried deleting all the dirs under /index and restarted the webserver to see if re-indexing would help, but that made matters worse. Re-indexing

Hi, I''m adding some news articles to a keyed Ferret 0.10.14 index and encountering quite serious instability when concurrently reading and writing to the index, even though with just 1 writer and 1 reader process. If I recreate the index without a key, concurrent reading and writing seem to work fine (and indexing is about 10 times quicker :) I''m testing by running my indexing

Textdrive upgraded to Rails 1.1 already. I have an older rails app, and am now getting the following error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.0 /lib/active_support/depende ncies.rb:112:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant LoadingModule (NameEr ror) from ./script/../config/environment.rb:91 from

Hi, I have ferret working fine on my Dev machine using a relative index path as follows: USER_INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => "indexes/user", :key => ''id'', :auto_flush => true) And the indexes/user directory is located directly off the root of my project tree. But when I migrate this same code to my shared TextDrive account, Ferret cannot find the index

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToIntegrateFerretWithRails I followed everything here but at the last I get when loading page get_results Can only handle a String or a Query.

Up to now in my ferret development I have been using simple single-word strings as my search queries. I just now am trying to increase the complexity of my queries. When I was passing a single word with no spaces in my index searches, like so: count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s| ... end everything worked fine. But now when I do something like this: count =

Iam new to ferret Iam trying to do a sample application on ferret this is my code: class SearchController < ApplicationController require ''ferret'' include Ferret index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/path/to/index'') def list end def index index << {:title => "Programming Ruby", :content => "blah blah blah"}

I set up ferret and it''s running fine normally. Now I want to hook up the backgroundrb server. However whenever I try to do a search, I get this error: (druby://localhost:9010) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1075:in `method_missing'' (druby://localhost:9010) ./vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/remote_index.rb:20:in `find_id_by_contents'' (druby://localhost:9010)

Hello, I am trying to get Ferret''s C indexer to work on OpenSUSE 10 and fastcgi. Indexing documents appears to work correctly but when I try to display the results I recieve the following error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `string_value'' for stored/uncompressed,indexed,tokenized,<title:Revit.jpg>:Ferret::Document::Field) on line #17 of

I am trying to use SVN HEAD of Acts_as_ferret, and I have ferret 0.10.4installed from the windows Gem. Unfortuanantly, whenever I i let act_as_ferrets init.rb file require ferret, my app blows up, with weird "Invalid char" errors. I have pasted the page below. If I comment out the require ferret, the page loads. Of course, act_as_ferret does blow up. My unit tests do work fine

I''m having a problem where the DRb server seems to be disappearing (crashing?) and I don''t know how 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
