Ok, now I'm getting somewhere :) In essence the rake tasks fail for me but if I do the commands myself they work.
I came across this thread http://www.sphinxsearch.com/forum/view.html?id=3238 where a Vista guy was having related problems and I ran > C:\sphinx\bin\indexer --config c:/[path/to/project]/config/development.sphinx.conf --all And that worked and when I went to my project directory and ran the search you suggested > searchd --config config/development.sphinx.conf (both \ and / seem to work) It started the process and the search works. I still haven't figured out why the rake tasks fail with the FATAL: config file ''C:/[path/to/project]/config/development.sphinx.conf'' does not exist or is not readable but I can live with that if I can just get it working properly on the *nix production server (which should be easier). Thanks a bunch for your fast feedback Pat, it's impressive to see all the effort you put into this.
