Search is currently unavailable. Try searching again soon

I searched but didn’t seem to find anyone having a similar issue so forgive me if I missed it.

When I click on a category or try to use the search bar I get “Search is currently unavailable. Try searching again soon.”

Based on what I’ve found online looks to be something to do with Ceramic plate? any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

The reason for “Search is currently unavailable…” error might be that you don’t have Sphinx running. Did you follow the installation instructions and started Sphinx as instructed?

What’s Ceramic plate btw?

I have no idea what ceramic plate is, ill try to find the web page for you.

Yea followed the instructions and every error I google and try to fix and the fly sphinx seems to be where I get stuck.

if i run:
bundle exec rake ts:start

I get:
ruby@vps438338:~/sharetribe$ bundle exec rake ts:start

I have the exact same error

Hello ceerly,
I got the same error and i found solution on it.

  1. run the command
    searchd --pidfile --config “/home/ruby/sharetribe/config/development.sphinx.conf”
    if you getting that “Sphinx server running already” then follow second step.
  2. bundle exec rake ts:stop
  3. bundle exec rake ts:start
