Hello, I’ve been using the acts\_as\_ferret plugin quite successfully on my rail application… until i needed to add namespaces to it! Could anybody help me on this? At first, my application had only one part, related to people/companies called “Entities”. Everything was fine, my ferret was happy. Then, I had to add a new part : “Publications”. I decided to split the application : - The common part, with administration pages, user management,… - The Entities part (still ferret-powered) - The Publications part (ferret-free) I did so by creating subfolders in my controllers / models / helpers / views: The common part stays where it is. The entities go to the Entities sub folder. The publications go to the Publications sub folder. I got all this little world to work fine locally on my development environment. Now, when it comes to deploying it to the production server, it seems to all go wrong. My ferret gets sick and tries to ruin everything: NameError (uninitialized constant Entities): (druby://198.145.115.78:9010)

/usr/local/bin/mongrel\_rails:18:in `load’ /usr/local/bin/mongrel\_rails:18 I can see two lines that are directly related to my code: ``` /app/controllers/entities/spec_controller.rb:112:in `view' ``` Which is : 110 def view 111 begin 112 @spec = Entities::Spec.find(params[:id]) and ``` /app/models/entities/spec.rb:36 ``` Which is : 36 acts\_as\_ferret :remote =\> true Could anybody tell me what’s wrong with my ferret? Is there more information i could provide to make troubleshooting easier? Thank you, Francois ---

I forgot something: Removing the ‘:remote =\> true’ parameter from the acts\_as\_ferret line makes it work fine… as long as only one user is online at a time, as the drb server won’t be used then. Francois
