Let me repeat this more clearly:  YOU CAN'T RUN FERRET OR SPHINX ON
DREAMHOST SHARED ACCOUNTS, PERIOD.   This means YOU CAN'T RUN INSOSHI
ON DREAMHOST WITHOUT A VPS.   You are wasting your time trying to
debug it.

The error eric is reporting is something you are guaranteed to run
into.  There is *no way* to fix it short of hacking insoshi to remove
acts_as_ferret entirely.

Dreamhost's policy *specifically forbids* any persistent process.
ferret_server and sphinxd are both persistent processes.   You can
start them, but Dreamhost's process monitor will catch and kill your
indexer daemon within a few hours, and your site will go down.

End of story.  Until Insoshi is completely freed from requiring a
separate indexer for search, you WILL NOT be able to run it on a
Dreamhost shared account.  I spoke to dreamhost's tech support crew
about this two months ago, and they confirmed it for me.

Get a VPS and you're fine.  Unfortunately, those cost more than ten
times as much as the shared accounts.
