Failed to start sphinx

[Loganathan Sellapa]

HI All,

I have installed Sphinx from source with pgsql and then installed thinking-sphinx gem(3.0.1)  on my application (Rails 4.0.3). And I configured & generated the sphinx configurations. Then I added the indices on app/indices and later ran the index & start the sphinx via rake ts:index && ts:start, but I got the below error, let me know the way to resolve this. 

rake ts:index

using config file '/home/stc/config/development.sphinx.conf'...

FATAL: no indexes found in config file '/home/stc/config/development.sphinx.conf'

rake ts:start
