We''ve been running into problems with ferret indexing lately. The problem is intermittent and some times it persists. Just got this after wiping the index and redeploying: NoMethodError (undefined method `add'' for Solution:Class): (druby://10.1.65.87:9009) /data/releases/20071111152414/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1238:in `method_missing''

Hi all, We''re attempting to use Ferret with the DRb server at the moment, and it doesn''t work, at all... = Executive Summary The DRb server process keeps on calling the remote index to the DRb server process... Which means DRb is calling itself, and itself, and itself, until Ruby kills the Thread with a SystemStackLevel error. = The excruciating details... # Mongrel is

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)

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)

I am getting these errors after switchign to dRb: It is trying to call ''add'' on MY SourceListing class, not extended with the ferret indexing methods. Any ideas on where to fix this? I''m combing through the code now. no luck, trying to call class method instead ferret server error undefined method `add'' for SourceListing:Class

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

After switching to the DRb server, I am experiencing strange behavior when sorting on score. My app was working as expected before the switch. Both before and after the switch, my app sorts properly on other fields, such as date. For sorting on score, I am using the following option find_by_contents option: :sort => Ferret::Search::SortField::SCORE Before switching to DRb, this worked

Hello, I have been trying to set up the remote indexing for acts_as_ferret and followed the guide here: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer I added :remote => true to my models and then specified host and port for the production environment. After defining the host/port for production, I tried to run my development server and received the following error:

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

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

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

The Problem: The application is using the AAF plugin. When I attempt to rebuild the index on the production server from the console, I get the following error: ------ DRb::DRbConnError: druby://ferret.mydomain.com:9010 - #<Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)> from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in `open'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:729:in

Hi folks, I have several models that index well in Drb mode. However, I have one scenario where it works in normal mode, but not in Drb mode. model A field :one end model B belongs_to :a field :two delegate :one, :to => :a acts_as_ferret :fields => { :one => {}, :two => {} }, :remote => true end If I leave off the :remote parameter, it works. Or, if I don''t

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 and then calling DRb.thread.exit -- this is not good enough for

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

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

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''

Hi, I am having some serious problems with site that''s already live. It is using RoR 1.2, ferret 0.11.6 and most recent acts_as_ferret plugin. Most of the day, site is doing pretty well, is quick and search is reliable. But, at some point, it just "locks" and stops responding, one instance of mongrel after another. At the same time ferret DRb server starts eating lots of CPU.

When using a remote ferret server, if the ferret server is not running the acts_as_ferret class method will raise an exception. This causes the model class to only be partially defined, and therefore all use of that class in the rails application will explode until the rails process is restarted. This stems from the fact that ensure_index_exists is called on the server just before the
