Hi Matt Not quite grokking what you've said below (but I'm running a bit short on sleep at the moment), but if I am understanding it correctly: Thinking Sphinx checks the pid file itself to see if Sphinx is running, so while you can set it manually in your conf file, you'll also need it in sphinx.yml for TS to be able to function intelligently.
