“Acts As Ferret DrbServer Win32 Service”
June 30, 2008
How to setup acts_as_ferret on windows was what I was wondering when I came accross this link.
In UNIX/LINUX the ferret server works as a process but for windows we need to generate a service to make it work.
Follow the below steps to make ferret work for you on windows.
1 / install latest verion of acts_as_ferret
2/Install win-32 service gem using
gem install win32-service
3/Download ferret_win32_service.zip and extract ferret_service and ferret_daemon
to [app_name]/ script directory. ferret_service script is to install/ remove/ start/ stop your win32 service, while ferret_ daemon script is to be called by Win32 service to start/stop the DrbServer.
4/ruby script/ferret_service install -n [service_name] -e production
5/ruby script/ferret_daemon
This should work fine, if needed please check .
