I’m running sphinx, thinking sphinx on our rails3 application. I’m also using passenger on osx 10.6.

Everything’s fine but I simply cannot get my delta indexes to work when I create a record in a browser.

In the console, I get the following output and my record’s displayed in the view:

I’ve been through the documentation, rebuilt my indexes etc. The only thing I can assume is that it’s a permissions problem. The docs say searchd has to be run as same user as www.

Apache2 is running as www user on my mac. I can’t see why I should change this to run as ts user?

    After some investigation, I found an error appearing when adding a company through the browser…

    dyld: Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/indexer
  Reason: image not found

    To solve this mysql load issue, I followed the following suggestion and ran this:

    sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/bin/indexer

sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/bin/search

    Now, creating a record in the browser, I can see my delta indexing working again. woohoo!

    Hope this helps someone out there…
