Rails, thinking sphinx configure task not working... no output either

I don't get it, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem with thinking sphinx.

rails@myapp:~/apps/myapp/current$ rake ts:conf --trace RAILS_ENV="production"(in /home/rails/apps/myapp/releases/20110124214031)
** Invoke ts:conf (first_time)
** Invoke thinking_sphinx:configure (first_time)
** Invoke thinking_sphinx:app_env (first_time)
** Execute thinking_sphinx:app_env
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute thinking_sphinx:configure
Generating Config开发者_Python百科uration to /home/rails/apps/myapp/releases/20110124214031/config/production.sphinx.conf
Killed

This is what my sphinx.yml looks like as well:

development:
  port: 9312
test:
  port: 9312
production:
  port: 9312
  pid_file: /var/run/sphinx/searchd.pid
  searchd_files: /home/rails/apps/myapp/shared/db/sphinx

It's soo annoying because it used to work. Any thoughts?

I helped someone with this problem the other day, and it turned out it was actually a different out-of-date plugin that was causing the issue. That said, could be something else here...

To debug, I'd recommend commenting out all define_index blocks, and add them back one by one, and see if it's one in particular that's causing it. If so, then comment out all fields and attributes, and add them back one by one (though you'll need one field to start with - otherwise TS/Sphinx complains).

Otherwise, what versions of Rails and Thinking Sphinx are you using? If you narrow it down to a define_index block, what's in that block? What are the associations that block refers to, if any?
