sql_connect: could not connect to server: Connection timed out

Hi,
I set up our app on Heroku, basic shared database, but when indexing we ran into this problem

Sphinx 1.10-beta (r2420)
Copyright (c) 2001-2010, Andrew Aksyonoff
Copyright (c) 2008-2010, Sphinx Technologies Inc (http://sphinxsearch.com)

using config file '/mnt/sphinx/flying-sphinx/e1823e2399336dcaf/sphinx.conf'...
indexing index 'listing_core'...
ERROR: index 'listing_core': sql_connect: could not connect to server: Connection timed out

Is the server running on host "ec2-107-20-190-94.compute-1.amazonaws.com" (10.96.73.167) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

(DSN=pgsql://ecwbvzzkvd:***@ec2-107-20-190-94.compute-1.amazonaws.com:54...). total 0 docs, 0 bytes
total 193.442 sec, 0 bytes/sec, 0.00 docs/sec
.....

Do you have any idea why this happens?
Thanks a lot
Son Tran

    Hi Son

    Are you using the default Heroku shared database, or their shared database add-on? And when you run heroku config --long, what are all the variables that start with FLYING_SPHINX?

    Cheers

    Pat

    Hi Pat,
    We are using a default Heroku shared database but not sure it come from add-on or not

    => 80965a7398485d93a
   => ec2-23-20-44-208.compute-1.amazonaws.com

    => e1823e2399336dcaf

    => false
   => 9335

    At some point, we change FLYING_SPHINX_INGRESS to true, and tried to reindex, but the errors were the same
    Thx
    SOn

    If it's the default, it's not an add-on - so, what you really want is FLYING_SPHINX_INGRESS not set at all:

    heroku config:remove FLYING_SPHINX_INGRESS

    Give that a shot, let me know how you go.

    That works! Thanks a lot

    But we run into this problem

    (DSN=pgsql://ecwbvzzkvd:***@127.0.0.1:10335/ecwbvzzkvd).

    I understand that there is some problem with crc32 vs Heroku psql -- Any suggestion to get around this problem would be appreciated
    Thx

    The issue is that you can't have fields or string attributes being facets - if you can share your define_index block for the model, we can see if there's some options to work around it. Of course, if you don't need those attributes or fields as facets, then just remove the facet setting and it should be fine.

    Thanks a lot Pat. Really appreciate your help. We'll try to use Amazon RDS to get round this problem first.

    No worries. The other MySQL add-ons should work fine as well, if you find them to be more reasonably priced.
