similar to: Ferret not building index successfully all of a sudden

Hi. We''ve had some problems with ferret not being able to load our classes (stack trace below for the curious). I nailed it down to a deployment issue, where an old instance of ferret drb was running. I don''t understand the details quite yet, but the result was the the old ferret was never shutdown during redeployment, and attempts were made to start up a new one. Anywho,

I''m trying to use the Ferret DRB server to avoid concurrency issues when using multiple mongrels. I can successfully add and edit data on my index via the DRB server, however, when I search the index, I get the following error: DRb::DRbConnError (DRb::DRbServerNotFound): /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1647:in `current_server'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1709:in

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 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

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 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:

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

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)

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''

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

We''re running Ferret and acts_as_ferret in our production environment. We have multiple mongrels talking to a single index on a separate (virtual) server over DRb. This is working ok for now, as our index updates are fairly infrequent. I''m concerned with the lack of rendundancy/scalability in this layout. Our index won''t get too big - maybe 100k indexed objects, each no

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''

(Sorry if some people see this twice. I originally posted this question from ruby-forum.com, but didn''t realize that the Ferret forum was a mirror and that I actually wasn''t a member.) Anyway, I''ve read all the documentation I could find, and read most of this forum, but I''m a still a little confused on running a ferret DRb server. All the examples seem to be

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.

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?

I''m having a weird problem. Recently, on all my environments, one of my two indexed models is not returning any results to acts_as_ferret. However, the folder is being created for it and Im not receiving any errors. On my two models, I call the following: Book.rebuild_index User.rebuild_index When I call those commands through either my live app "ruby script/server" or
