    Has anyone here installed it before? Ive been looking at their install manual but I dont understand how they want me to install it or use these scripts
    #
    
    ./configure
    
    There's a number of options to configure. The complete listing may be obtained by using --help switch. The most important ones are:
    
        * --prefix, which specifies where to install Sphinx;
        * --with-mysql, which specifies where to look for MySQL include and library files, if auto-detection fails;
        * --with-pgsql, which specifies where to look for PostgreSQL include and library files.

    Build the binaries:
    Code (markup):
    :confused:

    Am I supposed to have some sort of cmd prompt on my godaddy linux server???

    Are you operating a shared server or Dedicated Server ??? You need a dedicated server for this. But if you need a search script installed, i will be able to assist you...

    It has to be dedicated? No I have godaddys deluxe plan so I guess I cant install it then. :( I wanted to make something similar to mininovas tracker and one of the coders told me they use Sphinx.

    Hi neil

    Yes, you need to be on a VPS or dedicated server to where you have root access in order to install Sphinx.

    This is a very, very difficult script to install. You will need to make use of someone who has the knowledge on installing Sphinx. If you never did it before I would not advice you to do this yourself.
