Hi- I''m technical lead at Lingr (http://www.lingr.com), a chatroom-based social networking site. We''ve currently got several million user utterances stored in MySQL, and we''re looking to build a local search functionality. I''ve played around with aaf and I really like it, but I have some questions. 1. Is anyone out there using aaf to index a corpus of this

is the list of indexed words readily available via aaf or directly from ferret? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am experience situations where accessing the index results in a complete re-indexing of the model. I have not been able to detect a pattern. Under what circumstances does Ferret (or AAF) decide that it needs to rebuild the index? I''ll be happy to look at the code relevant to this if someone could direct me to it. Thanks, John

Has anyone ever seen this error before? "./script/console production Loading production environment. /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/acts_as_ferret-0.4.1/lib/ferret_server.rb:123: warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future version /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionwebservice-1.2.3/lib/action_web_service/container/action_controller_container.rb:74:in

AFAICT, ferret_server should be able to handle multiple clients writing to it at once, since ferret itself is thread safe. However, it''s not clear whether running concurrent index rebuilds on different would be possible, since they run inside ferret_server. Anyone have experience with this? -ryan

Ferret 0.10.11 & AAF: the time seems to be stored in a format that can''t be sorted, the order doesn''t make any sense. Workaround: use to_i on the Time object before putting it into the index. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m spending today writing documentation. I''ll be updating quite a few documents, doing some edits, and adding some user contributed docs. If anyone has documentation suggestions, FAQ questions they''d like included, or things they think are old and stale, then let me know. Swing by the Lingr room: http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 And drop me a line if you want

I blogged about some of the problems with aaf in production (http://www.jroller.com/BrightCandle) yesterday but inspired by the poitive response I thought I would share the perceived problems and discuss some of the potential solutions to help newcomers and make aaf work as if by magic just like Rails does. All of these problems boil down to one simple problem, running acts as ferret in a

Hi Everyone, Just want to get out another ping on the Mongrel pre-release saga. I''ve updated a bunch of the documentation to include documents people have donated and to beef up the FAQ for most of the questions people have asked over the past month.

Hello. I''m the author of DataMapper (http://datamapper.org), and am trying to choose what Full-Text-Indexing engine/plugin I want to include by default. I was hoping you guys could help. :-) Sphinx comes highly recommended, but without live index updates, it just doesn''t seem practical for most of my work. I''m most experienced with Solr, but the whole HTTP::Request and

Calling All Mongrel Minions! I wanna have some fun and would like this as a Christmas present. The site http://www.workingwithrails.com/ has this lame popularity system that''s kind of irking some of the main Ruby contributors. I think it''s kind of funny, but would like to demonstrate what an army of motivated people can do to these kinds of popularity contests. So, as a

Hi folks, I took a break from Mongrel today and instead whipped up an Atom feed generator for my site. People who love or utterly hate my essays will lover or utterly hate to subscribe to it. http://www.zedshaw.com/feed.atom Let me know if it isn''t working well in your favorite feed reader. -- Zed A.

Hi, I''m wondering how I should go about making my website multi-lingual. Basically, there will be different content for the different languages, and that''s not really a problem... all I need to do is give each content entry in the database a language_id. But the problem is with the non-content text, eg, "In order to access this area, you must be logged in",

Alright folks, I put in a fix for camping and added the patch by Thomas Hurst for the accf_http deferred accept settings for FreeBSD. As usual, please test this release out and let me know if it has any additional problems. I''ll be working on win32 builds today and tomorrow with Luis. Install with: sudo gem install fastthread --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases sudo gem

This is important so please read this message very carefully. There is a DoS for Ruby''s cgi.rb that is easily exploitable.

Hey folks, I ran into a few people at RubyConf who were having 99% CPU issues. Please contact me if you meet the following criteria: 1. You are running a production site. 2. You are experiencing 99% CPU errors. 3. This is frequent enough that you cannot manage it. Thank you. Please contact me off-list about it. -- Zed A.

Hi- Can someone help me conceptualize how I could setup an * box which features both English and Spanish prompts? I know it's possible to configure the box to use one or the other, but how could I setup a multi-lingual box? Any suggestions?

Hi Folks, I was playing with Lingr today (http://www.lingr.com) and kind of like it, so I thought I''d setup a little room and see how it works for answering Mongrel questions. http://www.lingr.com/room/3yXhqKbfPy8 I''ll be hanging there for a while and we''ll see how it works out. If it works well, and doesn''t turn into a nastier-than-IRC situation then I may

Got it all running nicely now for a few days but noticed something funny. I have a table were lots of records get added, deleted every day. I can see the added records being added by AAF to the index but I notices some "ghost" results when doing searches. The search returns record ID-s that do not exist anymore because they were deleted. Does AAF also remove entries from the index when
