Thanks Pat. I am still trying to make TS work with Sphinx. I had some progress and I wanted you to know if anything can be done about the issue of rake ts:start not able to start sphinx.
But, I did start the Sphinx daemon from the windows services manually. When I tried to stop from Thinking sphinx using Rake ts:stop, it says it has stopped the daemon. But actually it has not stopped the service. I checked the services and it still says still running. It gives me following message when I try to stop again from TS. Station3@STATION3-PC /c/Workspace1/nirtyjul2 $ rake ts:stop (in C:/Workspace1/nirtyjul2) Stopped search daemon (pid 3756). Station3@STATION3-PC /c/Workspace1/nirtyjul2 $ rake ts:stop (in C:/Workspace1/nirtyjul2) Stopped search daemon (pid 3756).
