Question

After I run rake ts:index and try to start the sphinx server I get these errors for all of my commands:

$ rake ts:start
rake aborted!
searchd is already running.

$ rake ts:stop
rake aborted!
execution expired

$ rake ts:rebuild
rake aborted!
execution expired

I tried what was in this these threads already:

Thinking Sphinx Rake aborted, searchd is running while rebuilding or start/stop ts. Index works fine

Any ideas why Thinking Sphinx Rake tasks are not running?

But those commands aren’t recognized on my system e.g. searchd --stop and I am not to sure how I would use those commands on my system in the first place.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Looks like something was wrong with the gem when I installed it the first time. I switch to gem 'thinking-sphinx', '2.0.9' and back to gem 'thinking-sphinx', '2.0.10' using bundle install. I also reinstalled Sphinx just encase.
