Hi,
had my local linux box setup and ferret was working like a champ via
Webrick.
However, when I moved to a different linux box using Apache web server,
search no worky…giving the error listed below. The site itself comes up
fine.
I’ve tried deleting all the dirs under /index and restarted the
webserver to see if re-indexing would help, but that made matters worse.
Re-indexing didn’t work ie didn’t produce any of the normal subdirs
under /index like it usually does.
Is there some additional step that i need to do to Apache to get this
working.
Thanks
Pat

It looks like you have a rails app. Does the user running rails have
write permissions on the index directory? Make sure the index directory
and subdirectories is owned by that user, or at least that that user has
write permission (as well as read and execute).
Ferrent is attempting to write a lock file in your index directory
before it searches, and the write fails. The write fails in the c code
under ensure_reader_open at lib/ferret/index.rb:673
([email protected]?). The c code raises a LOCK_ERROR exception, but
the exception is not caught because it is undefined in this scope
(lib/ferret/index.rb:674). ActiveSupport attempts to load a non-existent
file lock_error.rb to resolve this missing constant, but it fails
You will get similar errors if you attempt to save a record.

thx for the reply/interesting points Ray. Got it working by reinstalling
mongrel and following documentation at:
http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/apache.html
Also went through the deployment section in the 2nd edition Agile Web
Development with Rails’ by D Thomas. Well worth the buy and read.
thx again.
Probably helped by stepping away from the issue for a while and taking
off the blinkers.
