Sphinx 3 not starting on Heroku

Question

When I search it raises this exception:

Mysql2::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading authorization packet', system error: 0

-- My Gemfile.rb --

gem 'mysql2',          '0.3.12b5'
gem 'thinking-sphinx', '3.0.3' #'2.0.11'
gem 'flying-sphinx',   '1.0.0' #'0.8.4'

I'm running Rails 4 and Postgres

I've run the heroku sphinx conf

Answer 1

I figured this out. Although the docs say that the flying-sphinx gem does all the configuration for you after the inital configuration. You still have to run these two commands:

$ heroku run bundle exec flying-sphinx index
$ heroku run bundle exec flying-sphinx start
