similar to: why/when does the DRb server rebuild the index (when I don''t ask)?

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

Hi, I have my Model as follows: class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{}, :product_id=>{:index => :untokenized}, :product_description=>{}, :product_label_description=>{}, :product_label_free=>{}, :product_product_id_supplier=>{}, :product_description_supplier=>{}, :supplier_description=>{}, :pub_date_sort

hello list! i''m still having massive problems with index rebuilds. after i recently switched to the DRb mode i was hoping to get rid of the problems with locked files and such. but even with DRb and the latest stable version of acts_as_ferret my index rebuilds are failing C:\Informer>ruby script/console production Loading production environment. >> LegacyInfobase.rebuild_index

Hi, i''ve a project in wich i have 2 different rails apps accessing the same DB. The backoffice, as usual, changes data. The frontoffice has a search capabilities with acts_as_ferret (paginated) for search. Maybe this is a newbie question but, when i delete index and restart front app all the articles are indexed, but the new one''s (via backoffice) are not searchable. Does

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

I''m having problems sorting on untokenized fields. I have one field that sorts fine, but there are others that seem to sort on a different field. Here''s the index description: acts_as_ferret :remote=>true,:fields=>{:name=>{:boost=>2},:name_for_sort=>{:index => :untokenized}, :city=>{:boost=>2}, :city_for_sort=>{:index=>:untokenized},

So my ferret behaves nicely in dev mode, but I just deployed and now he is not happy! First thing I noticed was that in general my app would not start with a folder called "development" in my index folder, so I changed it to "production" and now my app is functioning. However, when I try to search I get errors, which you can see here: http://pastie.caboo.se/61767 Im

I''m wondering if someone can point me in a direction to monitor the ferret drb server while using cacti. Is it possible to run multiple instances of ferret drb on the same machine, just on different ports? Will it still update the index properly, or will you get collision? New to moving over to the drb server. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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:

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

Hi, I''ve just read some an article (http://www.jroller.com/BrightCandle/entry/oversights_in_rails_plugins_really.) This article (and the comment,) seem to imply that drb is required if running under a fastcgi kind of deployment. Is this true? Thanks, Chris. ps this is for a different server then my previous question. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

I was just trying to use acts_as_ferret with DRb and filter_proc, without much success. My guess is that this isn''t possible because there''s no way to send the proc to the DRb server, correct? Person.find_by_contents("jonathan", :filter_proc => proc {}) causes an exception when using DRb (DRb::DRbConnError: DRb::DRbServerNotFound). I can work around this by

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 all! We use the DRB-Server Backend and are getting strange DRb::DRbConnErrors lately. It started with: too large packet 687865856 (druby:/10.0.0.10:9010) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:573:in `load'' and later only this one: premature marshal format(can''t read) (druby:/10.0.0.10:9010) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:580:in `load'' Do you have any ideas what that

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 use Ferret 0.11.4 and the latest stabel version of the acts_as_ferret plugin. To the issue. if I do Model.rebuild_index and after that try to update one of my objects of that Model I get: 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

The problem with getting DRb to luanch on reboot is the same problem causing some people to ahve trouble getting mongrel clustersw to come back up on reboot. The problem is the PATH. ON many new RH distributions running SELinux, /usr/local/bin is not added to the PATH until reboot is complete. Therefore, those of having installed ruby in /usr/local/bin run in to issues. SO, hoping to save

Hi all, After switching from "regular" AAF to drb based my app is no longer handling nonlatin chars. Any hints? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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
