Cannot start searchd, but indexer works fine.

[Byo Fuel]

Hi -- I've been stuck trying to run searchd via the rake task, although it appears to (sort of) run by itself.  I'm on OS/X.

If I run 

searchd --config config/development.sphinx.conf

from within the project, I get:

Sphinx 2.0.1-beta (r2792)

Copyright (c) 2001-2011, Andrew Aksyonoff

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

However, if I ps aux | grep searchd, I only get the grep task.

If I run rake ts:start (or rake ts:start RAILS_ENV=development) from within the project, I get:

Failed to start searchd daemon. Check /Users/kurtsnyder/code/project.com/log/searchd.log.

}

Any help greatly appreciated....

Hi

I hit this same problem - the issue is Sphinx 2.0.1 doesn't work on OS X. What I've done (as suggested by Curtis in the other thread) is grabbed the latest source for Sphinx (2.0.2-dev) from SVN, compiled that, and it works fine.

Also: make sure you're using edge Riddle (via git in your Gemfile).

Cheers

Where did you get the source for 2.0.2-dev. I'm using this
https://github.com/freelancing-god/sphinx

But am getting the following compile errors:

$ make
Making all in src
/bin/sh svnxrev.sh ..
/bin/sh: svnxrev.sh: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [extract-version] Error 127

I cut and pasted this file back where it was originally in the src
dir:

https://github.com/freelancing-god/sphinx/blob/5e22785feff42e46a51b57855738e1c9451b10f7/src/svnxrev.sh

Seems to work now, although 'make install' doesn't install it to /usr/
bin even though I did my './configure --prefix=/usr/bin'.

I've just added that file (it accidentally got deleted when I removed all the .svn files) - and a quick run-through of ./configure && make && sudo make install put the files in /usr/local/bin, which is normal. I've not tried with the explicit prefix though.

Also, the definitive Sphinx source is available via svn:

svn co http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk sphinx-read-only
