Hi,

I am using thinking sphinx on a shared server. I tried to set up Cron  
Job with the following command:

rake thinking\_sphinx:stop RAILS\_ENV=production;rake  
thinking\_sphinx:index RAILS\_ENV=production;rake thinking\_sphinx:start  
RAILS\_ENV=production

The above command works in development. But it doesn’t work in  
production when being set up as Cron Job for user account on a shared  
server. Interestingly enough, when I try to run the command via putty  
session with a designated port, say port 40000, the command works. Do  
you think this is a port issue in searchd Cron?

searchd  
{  
address = 127.0.0.1  
port = 3312  
log =  
/home/maestrouser/public\_html/maestro/releases/20080912202939/log/searchd.log  
query\_log =  
/home/maestrouser/public\_html/maestro/releases/20080912202939/log/searchd.query.log  
read\_timeout = 5  
max\_children = 30  
pid\_file =  
/home/maestrouser/public\_html/maestro/releases/20080912202939/log/searchd.production.pid  
max\_matches = 1000  
}
