Sphinx Installation

Just seeing that it's actually using eval() makes me wanna run screaming in the other direction...

 

I tried the exact same steps as mentioned by

https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/installation-instructions-changelog.2628794/

but searchd is not starting with the config file "sphinx.conf"

also getting the below error
++
[etc]# /usr/local/bin/indexer --rotate --all
Sphinx 2.2.11-id64-release (95ae9a6)

using config file '/usr/local/etc/sphinx.conf'...
FATAL: no indexes found in config file '/usr/local/etc/sphinx.conf'

I have 2 questions:

1- Why I get this message when I'm trying to generate the /usr/bin/indexer --rotate --all ?
FATAL: no indexes found in config file '/etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf'

2- In sphinx.conf.ini I see:
$config['sphinx_path_binary'] = '';

What I have to include there? /usr/bin/ or /home/sphinx/ or what?

 

very nice!
