running sphinx in two different apps on the same server

I am having two small apps having search in it. They are completly two different apps with different database etc.

Now the issue is coming up pid file.At a time only on application is searching cause when I do 

rake ts:start

on one it says another instance is already running. How can I change this so that sphinx keep running for both the applications. I am using Capistrano for development.

Structure is something like this:

  /home/me/my_app_1/production/current
  /home/me/my_app_2/production/current

In both apps you have to create a config/sphinx.yml which can contain various configuration variables and one of them allows you to specify the port of the sphinx server. When you define the port manually in one app like this:

development:
  port: 9313
test:
  port: 9314
production:
  port: 9316

and in the other:

development:
  port: 9317
test:
  port: 9318
production:
  port: 9319

Then call rake ts:rebuild in both applications. Thinking sphinx will generate new config files for sphinx that setup different sphinx instances for each app and each environment in the app.
