No, sphinx was running. I was thinking the same thing too b/c I had done the same thing before also. But,AGAIN while in the middle of typing this I had an appifany (yes i know i can't spell) . I had created a separate DB for production in the db.yml. But to be sure it worked I had specified the productin db in production.sphinx.conf . Well apparently it DIDN'T work. So I set the production.sphinx.conf back to using the dev DB and changed the DB.yml so that the info for the development DB was listed as for production so lovdbyless would use it for production (instead of the one i had told it to use before). And Voila!!! Like magic it works!! All of it! Yay!! After all of this I think I will add a small "how-to" for others trying to do this on Ubuntu so they will hopefully have an easier time than I did. And again, THANK YOU very much, Mr. Jason Keenan. If it hadn't been for your knowledge and insight I wouldn't have been able to figure this all out. I'd still be stuck with my CSS prob. And thank you as well Mr. Jonathon Brennor. Now on to figuring out (or more appropriately) deciding how I want apache to serve up my new site. On its own using fcgi, or proxy it with mongrel. Decisions, decisions.
