I'm sorry, I know this will be one of those posts that misses abunch
of important details, but I'm new to TS, so I'll do my best...

So, I've recently set up thinking_sphinx to do keyword searching in my
rails app. The app is an inventory app, so I wanted to turn on delta
indexing - the user base is pretty small anyway, since it's an
internal pplicaiton, and when someone adds something new to inventory,
etc, I want them to be able to search it immediately.

So, I set it up, programmed - so easy! I love this plugin, I do. In
development, the plugin works great!

However, when I move to a production environment, for some reason, I
get very weird behaviour. Thinking Sphinx itself still works fine.
Searches work quickly and accurately, perfectly happy with them.
However, the delta indexing falls apart - it just doesn't happen at
all. So, I decided to experiment with it using ruby script/console in
production mode, and here's the kicker - it works fine! It's only when
I make changes using my web interface, and only in production, that
the system fails.

I am using PostgreSQL fro my database, the table structure is REALLY
simple, the whole stack is running on OS 10.5 server. I went so far as
to replicate my DB settings in development into production - like I
literally copy/pasted the entry in the database config file - and I
still get the same behaviour. I checked, and the delta index files
exist, they are in the conf file as well (and again, it works fine,
from console mode!). I don't see any errors in the production log.
Does anyone ahve any idea why this is happening, or else where I
should look for more info? That's the thing about 'just works'
technology, when it DOESN'T just work, stupid people liek me don't
know how to work.
