Thinking sphinx stuck on a port

A number of applications are running on the same machin with sphinx & TS running.

Unfortunately I had on application with the same search port as another application that was launched after. The older application was not searching properly to say the least.

I fucked up and set it to 9314, which ought to be servicing and older rails 2 application.

I changed the port anew

  mysql41: 9311

and the new port does not seem to register for thinking-Sphinx. But now

rake:ts:start

fails because searchd cannot be started. The log states:

listening on 127.0.0.1:9314

tried various free ports to no effect.

Solution

  • You need to run ts:configure or ts:index (which runs ts:configure itself) to ensure the configuration file is regenerated (and thus has the latest port setting). Once you've done that, then ts:start should use 9311.
