I have started Elasticsearch on a server which I am trying to connect to my Rails app. I am able to access ES via curl, however cannot create an index. 'Projects' is the name of my model. **tire.rb** ``` require 'tire' Tire.configure { url "http://[Server IP]:9200" } ``` **Index command output** : ``` [IMPORT] Deleting index 'projects' # 2013-07-05 10:52:44:309 [DELETE] ("projects") # curl -X DELETE http://[Server IP]:9200/projects # 2013-07-05 10:52:44:314 [404] # # {"error":"IndexMissingException[[projects] missing]","status":404} # 2013-07-05 10:52:44:327 [HEAD] ("projects") # curl -I "http://[Server IP]:9200/projects" # 2013-07-05 10:52:44:327 [404] [IMPORT] Creating index 'projects' with mapping: {"project":{"properties":{}}} # 2013-07-05 10:52:44:394 [CREATE] ("projects") # curl -X POST http://[Server IP]:9200/projects -d ``` '{"mappings":{"project":{"properties":{}}},"settings":{}}' ``` # 2013-07-05 10:52:44:394 [500] # # {"error":"RemoteTransportException[Failed to deserialize exception ``` response from stream]; nested: TransportSerializationException[Failed to deserialize exception response from stream]; nested: StreamCorruptedException[unexpected end of block data]; ","status":500} ``` [ERROR] There has been an error when creating the index -- ``` Elasticsearch returned: 500 : {"error":"RemoteTransportException[Failed to deserialize exception response from stream]; nested: TransportSerializationException[Failed to deserialize exception response from stream]; nested: StreamCorruptedException[unexpected end of block data]; ","status":500} Has anyone else run into this error? ES is on a separate server and I am simply trying to use it for searching in development mode at the moment. Any help is appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
