I have this error in development env, using thinking-sphinx search in my controller or with console

> Product.search "moule"
Riddle::ResponseError: No response from searchd (status: , version: )

The service is up (rake ts:start), and running (ps aux|grep shows the searchd process with my development config file).

The search seems to work using search command line : 

search --config /Users/yyy/workspace/xxx/config/development.sphinx.conf moule

gets me all the matching products 

index 'product_core': query 'moule ': returned 17 matches of 17 total in 0.000 sec

I tried to restart my rails application or searchd and also reindex, I can't make it work!

Here is my configuration :

development:
  morphology: libstemmer_french
  enable_star: true
  html_strip: true
  min_prefix_len: 4
  min_infix_len: 0
  charset_type: utf-8

I'm using

rails (2.3.8)
thinking-sphinx (1.3.20) / riddle 1.2.2
sphinx 0.9.9

(edit) It looks like the problem could come from my define index instruction. I reverted some changed I made, rebuilt the index and the error does not appear any more. The problem isn't fix because 

> Product.search "moule"

does not return any result (there should be). A few days ago, everything was working fine :-S

(edit) here is the searchd --status result :

  • The `search` command line tool doesn't actually talk to the daemon - it cheats and reads directly from the index files itself. – pat Jan 29 '12 at 07:34
  • Could you please provide output for "searchd --status"? And have you tried to upgrade at least to 2.0.2 version? – Sergei Lomakov Jan 28 '12 at 05:55
  • Sphinx 0.9.9-release (r2117) Copyright (c) 2001-2009, Andrew Aksyonoff FATAL: no readable config file (looked in /usr/local/Cellar/sphinx/0.9.9/etc/sphinx.conf, ./sphinx.conf). – Jérémie Jan 29 '12 at 08:48
  • Actually my config was working, the problem appeared when I tried to configure thinking sphinx. I tried to upgrade to 2.0.3 but I wasnt sure that it would work with thinking sphinx. I reinstalled the original version. – Jérémie Jan 29 '12 at 08:54

i had the same issue, but for some reason doing the following worked

/usr/local/bin/indexer --rotate product_core --config config/development.sphinx.conf

You'll of course have to edit the path to the sphinx config and the path to indexer. I actually have no idea what's going on, but it fixed it just the same

  • this worked for me but my path to indexer was /usr/bin/indexer (found this out by running `whereis indexer` at my command line also "product_core" should be replaced with the name of your index, if you look inside your sphinx conf it should tell you what it is – concept47 May 17 '14 at 07:00
