Ferret::FileNotFoundError (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
“…/index/production/object/_74s_q.del” but it doesn’t exist

Hello,
My mongrel cluster contain a pool of 8 mongrels server.
They all works on a unique ferret index.

But sometime, I got some Ferret::FileNotFoundError exception…

I guess this is because ferret does not support multi thread or someting
like this.

So i ask : what is the official solution to make multiple rails mongrel
share a same index ???

Best regards

Could it be enough to use "index.synchronize do … end " in my
activerecord model ?

Or does I have to create a DRB server ?

3

Ok, i now use DRB and it works fine

4

I use “:remote => true” in my model.

Is it enought to ensure it use DRB ?

JENS, pls help

Regards

Dammned , DRB is up and appear to be running.

( installed using procedure
http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer )

but i still got some errors like this one :

Ferret::FileNotFoundError (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 “blabla/…/index/production/blabla/_5uo_3.del” but
it doesn’t exist: <Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type>

Is it still using local index ?
