Installing Sphinx on the VM

Download the latest version of Sphinx (starting out as the ordinary tatoeba user, not superuser):

mkdir ~/downloads

cd ~/downloads/

wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinxsearch_2.1.5-release-1~wheezy_i386.deb

su -

dpkg -i sphinxsearch_2.1.5-release-1~wheezy_i386.deb

exit
Now make the Sphinx directory and subdirectories:

mkdir ~/sphinx

cd ~/sphinx

mkdir indices

mkdir log

Edit docs/generate_sphinx_conf.php as follows:

line 15 $sourcePath = "/home/tatoeba/sphinx/indices" line 193-196:

  - sql\_user = root
  - sql\_pass = tatoeba
  - sql\_db = tatoeba
  - sql\_sock = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

line 383:

  - change "port" to "listen" because the latest sphinx version uses "listen" instead of "port".

line 384, 385, 388:

  - log = /home/tatoeba/sphinx/log/searchd.log
  - query\_log = /home/tatoeba/sphinx/log/query.log
  - pid\_file = /home/tatoeba/sphinx/log/searchd.pid
