I am trying to install sphinx on Windows 7 to be used with RoR 3. I Installed Sphinx 2.0.1, By extracting it to the path c:\sphinx and installed it by c:\sphinx\bin>searchd --install ( Tried with and without default config file, sphinx.conf that comes with sphinx download )
and thinking-sphinx version 2.0.5 using ruby Gem I did make the changes in the model specifying Indexes and Attrributes. I also included sphinx.yml file in the config folder , with following configurations development: port: 9312 bin_path: "c:/sphinx/bin" When I run rake ts:index, -- It completes the task with the following output: using config file 'C:/Users/Wox/My Documents/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/nirty17/config/development.sphinx.conf'... indexing index 'ad_core'... collected 8 docs, 0.0 MB sorted 0.0 Mhits, 100.0% done total 8 docs, 90 bytes total 0.037 sec, 2373 bytes/sec, 210.98 docs/sec distributed index 'ad' can not be directly indexed; skipping. total 5 reads, 0.000 sec, 0.1 kb/call avg, 0.0 msec/call avg total 10 writes, 0.000 sec, 0.1 kb/call avg, 0.0 msec/call avg but when I try to start by rake ts:start , the console hangs and stops without giving any errors or outputs. and Sometimes when I tried It actually creates three Log files in the RoR project folder with the names binlog.001 binlog.lock binlog.meta with weird characters in it . sometimes the binlog.lock shows " The portion of the file may be locked by some other process" and some times it does not. And most times these files are not created but the console just hangs up with out giving any message when I try to start. I also tried starting the sphinx in services.msc manually, but it gives the "error :1607 termination expected unexpectedly" I have no Idea what the error might be and any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Note: I tried with different versions of both Sphinx, and thinking sphinx, and on many computers with windows 7 on it. I also tried changing the file permissions of the installed Sphinx folder. I had a problem earlier with indexing which said bin_path not found and I fixed it by setting up sphinx.yml file in the config folder. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
