For those of you having troubles when using routes containing subdomains in combination with Nginx (v1.2.5), you have to modify Ryan's Nginx configuration file like so:

Change this:

location @unicorn {
  #...
  proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
  #...
}

To this:

location @unicorn {
  #...
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  #...
}

Restart, and you should be good to go!

The $http_host variable seems to only return the request subdomain.

I'm answering to my own question: just use the total attribute on the search result:

@articles = Article.search(params)
@total_articles = @articles.total

Thanks again for the great screencasts !

Hey all !

I've been struggling for a few days, first installing ES as a service (the 0.19.6.deb wouldn't work on both LMDE and Ubuntu server 12.04), and then displaying results with pagination (I found the ES website quite outdated).

Anyway, I though I should share my small findings:

First for those of you who want to run ES as a service, you should check the service wrapper once you have compiled and installed ES. Then follow the documentation to run it as a non root user

Moreover, my queries didn't return more than 10 results at a time. I fixed this adding a match_all:{} parameter in the tire.search function :

def self.search(params)
  tire.search(load: true, match_all: {}, ... ) do
  # ...
end

I also have a question: how can I retrieve the number of hits return by query when using pagination?

Thanks again Ryan for your amazing screencasts !

Update: the newly released version 0.19.7 of the deb package fix the installation issue
