Thinking Sphinx index rebuild error on windows xp: searchd is already running

  • 772

I have Sphinx installed on windows xp system. A I use Thinking Sphinx plug-in within my rails application.

I can't rebuild index with Thinking Sphinx rake task after application server starting up even if I stop it:

Stopped search daemon (pid 4492).
... bla bla bla ...

WARNING: could not open pipe (GetLastError()=2)
rake aborted!
searchd is already running.

If I reload system, I can rebuild index. What do you think about?

  1. Everything became o'k after I had reinstalled sphinx service with this command:

    C:\worktools\sphinx\bin>searchd.exe --install --config "C:\worktools\sphinx\sphinx.conf"

    NB: config path should be in quotes. And I didn't use --servicename option as I did it during my first installation.
