Well, i moved everything to web (ts:stop, ts:index, :ts:start after clearing all the db/sphinx folder)
but still all the delta files are created under the root ownership, i really don't know why.. i am sure that only the web user is doing any kind of thinking_sphinx related actions. when i manually chown the files to be under the "web" user, deltas appear on search and everything is awesome. this is my crontab for the web user... any idea how or who is changing those files ownerships? */2 * * * * cd /var/www/statussearch2/current/ && rake RAILS_ENV=production ts:index --rotate * */5 * * * cd /var/www/statussearch2/current/ && rake RAILS_ENV=production ts:index On May 23, 10:20 am, Elad Meidar <[email protected]> wrote: > well, the rake tasks are run by the deploying user, which is 'web' > > but i think that there are some cron tasks (--rotate for example) that > are run by 'root' > > i'll move everything to 'web' and i'll see where it's heading. > > Thnx. > > On May 23, 2:19 am, James Healy <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Pat Allan wrote: > > > You need the web server and the rake tasks to be run by the same user > > > - either both by root, or some other user of your choice.
