connection error with tire/elasticsearch remote server - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have installed a ubuntu 12.04 remote server with elasticsearch.
I have installed elasticsearch with:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre-headless -y
wget https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.20.6.deb
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-0.20.6.deb
sudo service elasticsearch start
I get with sudo elasticsearch status:
* ElasticSearch Server is running with pid 2483
My elasticsearch remote server is working fine:
ubuntu12#juan:~/Escritorio/myapp$ curl http:/111.111.111.111:9200
{
"ok" : true,
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Hogan, Harold \"Happy\"",
"version" : {
"number" : "0.20.6",
"snapshot_build" : false
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
or with my subdomain:
ubuntu12#juan:~/Escritorio/myapp$ curl http://elasticsearchserver.mydomain.com:9200
{
"ok" : true,
"status" : 200,
"name" : "Hogan, Harold \"Happy\"",
"version" : {
"number" : "0.20.6",
"snapshot_build" : false
},
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}
I can restart, start and stop elasticsearhc server.
sudo service elasticsearch restart
* Stopping ElasticSearch Server [ OK ]
* Starting ElasticSearch Server [ OK ]
I have a tire.rb file in config/initializer/ folder with the next code:
if Rails.env == 'production'
Tire.configure do
url "http://elasticsearchserver.mydomain.com:9200"
end
end
This is my capistrano task to reindex:
after "deploy:finalize_update", "deploy:elasticsearch:index_classes"
namespace :deploy do
namespace :elasticsearch do
desc 'run elasticsearch indexing via tire'
task :index_classes do
run "cd #{deploy_to}/current && bundle exec rake environment tire:import CLASS=Object FORCE=true "
end
end
end
I'm using mongodb as database, so I have not make migrations before reindexing.
This is capistrano error:
2013-04-06 14:25:50 executing `deploy:elasticsearch:index_classes'

I have uploaded to production server the tire.rb file and I have tried:
bundle exec rake environment tire:import CLASS=Object FORCE=true
and I get the same result:
Skipping index creation, cannot connect to Elasticsearch
(The original exception was: #<Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)>)
[IMPORT] Deleting index objects'
rake aborted!
Connection refused - connect(2)
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix connection between tire/rails app and my elasticsearch server?

Answer 1

I think you just had the syntax wrong in your config/initializers/tire.rb,
see below
Tire.configure do
url "http://localhost:9200"
#you can uncomment the next line if you want to see the elasticsearch queries in their own seperate log
#logger "#{Rails.root}/log/es.log"
end

Answer 2

This is the syntax that it's working fine for me inside of tire.rb file
require 'tire'
Tire.configure { url "http://myremoteserver.com:9200" }
and now it's working fine!
Thank you!
