similar to: Determining the version of Ferret used to create an index

We are using Ferret on our site answeru.com. Today all of a sudden we started getting Ferret errors while users were trying to register or log into the system. I am not a Ferret techie - I apologize if a similar problem has already been asked or if it is not really a Ferret issue. Any ideas: IO Error occured at <except.c>:79 in xraise Error occured in fs_store.c:324 - fs_open_input

I''m running Ferret 0.9.5 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.7) under Locomotive 2.0.7. I have a problem where Ferret is hanging when I try to add items to the index. It doesn''t happen with every object that''s being indexed, and I''m not sure what the objects in question have in common (they are not all instances of the same ActiveRecord object). The process

I found it quite fun to generate index by ferret. However, I had to use lucene now. Can I use the index that I''ve already done by ferret? ps. Lucene 2.2.0 vs Ferret 0.11.4 Thx! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi Everyone, I''ve a RoR application. I am trying to build full text search capability into it. I installed Ferret. After that I installed the act_as_ferret plugin. I''ve also put the acts_as_ferret inside the <model>.rb file . I''m using the find_by_contents to get the search results. I''m getting the following error. I''ve no clue and I

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''ve been messing around with Ferret (no punn intended). After spending some time testing it out (indexing to file), I decided to index about 10% of the data I want to eventually index. It took several hours to complete the index on my local machine, but it was created without any problems and after optimising it the searches returned results at the sort of speed I was expecting. I

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

Hey Dave, I understand you''ve been very busy lately, but I was really excited when you said before Christmas sometime that you were soon to release a fast C version of ferret. Is that still in the works? Do you have even a rough ETA? I have a rails site that would greatly benefit from it.

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

Hello, I would like Ferret index to be stored in DB ( instead of multiple files ) It would allow me to centralize all datas in a unique media + backup my index using a simple DB export. Is there a way to do so ? Thks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

We use Nutch and Lucene for our heavy duty text analysis jobs but I?m trying to use ferrret to do some experiments. I understood that Ferret used the same index format as lucene but I cannot look into a lucene index with ferret and cannot read a ferret index with luke (the lucene index browser). Am I doing somehting wrong or have the formats diverged? -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi, I am working on a project which has a large Lucene index in place. Can (any version of) Ferret be used against an index built using Java Lucene? Thanks, Eric

Hey guys, It has occurred to me that a lot of people need some of the fixes I make to Ferret ASAP and don''t like having to wait to long for the gem. On the other hand, it is a bit of a pain to download and install from subversion because then you need to uninstall when the next gem comes out. So I thought I may as well put some instructions out as to how you can build your own Ferret gem

Hi, We''re happily using Ferret through acts_as_ferret on a Rails website, but we have an issue with rebuilding indexes. The Rails project directories are on an NFS mounted volume and running Model.rebuld_index there seems to take 60-100 times longer than it does on a local filesystem (e.g. /tmp). What we''d like to do is rebuild our indexes in say /tmp, then copy them back when

I need to reset the ferret index between test runs. It seems like there are a few ways to reset the ferret index. * Deleting the index directory -- is this really bad form? * calling rebuild_index * (any others?) What would y''all recommend? (Sorry, I''m from Texas) Preferably, I''d like a way to reset the index that I can integrate into a selenium test. -David

Hi, What would it take to get the a Lucene.net index readable by Ferret? I know that there has been discussion on this before but I am trying to figure the actual amount of work (cost) would be required to get this done. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Benjamin

Hello, everybody, we have a situation where there are two sets of information about documents - slow changing and fast changing properties. We index documents by slow changing properties (content) using Ferret directly, and it works rather well. But now we would like to filter the searches by a fast-changing property, that is calculated separately, e.g. "isBookAvailable". The

Hey .. I tried to use ferret on a development system for some days, but it keeps crashing with some glibc error message.. i understand that you''re currently rewriting most of the c code .. meanwhile i would like to use the ruby only version, hoping that this will not crash my fastcgi-processes.. so some questions.. 1st, how can i use the ruby only version of ferret? (i''ve

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
