IO errors with 2 processes

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

Hi All,
I’m using acts as ferret and getting a lot of these errors:

Error occured in fs_store.c:324 - fs_open_input
couldn’t create InStream
/var/rails/projectblue/website/public/…/config/…/index/production/content_page/_347i.fdt:

and also some of these errors:

uninitialized constant Ferret::Index::Index::LockError
[RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:477:in
`const_missing’

Now I’ve got a daemon I’m using to spider some webpages which is an
independant process from the actual webserver. I thought I’d be able to
get away with it, since the daemon is the only thing that writes to the
database (the web server just does reads.)

Do you think this is causing the problem? Any solutions?

Thanks,
Chris.

most probably it is. When you create (rebuild) a new index where the old
one was, searches will fail because the old index isn’t there anymore.

Try building the new index in a separate directory, or use the DRb
server which exactly does this.

Cheers,
Jens
