Sphinx Search Engine

sorted 0.4Mhits,44.9% done

is that a problem should it be 100%. or thats normal watch this

It’s ok, just a status displaying glitch, all documents were indexed ok as per that screenshot.

ivinco
in wordpress sphinx search 0.4 we need to run indexing manually and restart daemon every time we put a new post. can that be made automated after every post is published.

You can add the command to run indexing to cron. It can look like this:

#Delta index.
#Run cron job every 5 minutes to update delta index:
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/wp-content/plugins/sphinxsearch/cron/reindex.php delta
#main indexing.
#Run cron job once a day to update main index:
#Run every day in 0 hours and 5 minutes
5 0 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/wp-content/plugins/sphinxsearch/cron/reindex.php main

It will index all new posts each 5 minutes. It should be enough in most cases.

Current implementation of the plugin doesn’t enable indexing after each new post is added, although it’s feasible in terms of technical possibilities. We’re ready to discuss this or any other customization at [email protected].

hi ivinco

Hi ezhil

just tried assigning cron on my server but it send a mail stating.
Status: 404 Not Found
Content-type: text/html
No input file specified.

see my cron job settings here cron

It’s strange to receive such error from cron since 404 is a http error code, but the cron command you specified is not related with http. Are you sure that php can be found by /usr/bin/php and that the path to reindex.php is correct? If you’re using some shared hosting public_html is usually in your home dir, i.e. smth like /home/your_name/public_html/… can help.

hi ivinco
thanks for your reply ijust tried to run it without php like this

* * * * *
indexer –rotate –all /home/flexlear/public_html/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

it returns something like this to my mail.
/bin/sh: indexer: command not found
iam new to assign cron jobs ,that why i coun’t get that right

i need to run the delta index for every 5 min and
the main index for every day.

sphinx installation folder: /public_html/sphinx
sphinx config location: /public_html/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

or should i use this

sphinx config location: /home/flexlear/public_html/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

I’m not sure, but the correct path to ‘indexer’ could be /home/flexlear/public_html/sphinx/bin/indexer in your case, and to ‘reindex.php’ – /home/flexlear/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/cron/reindex.php

iam new to assign cron jobs ,that why i coun’t get that right
i need to run the delta index for every 5 min and
the main index for every day.
sphinx installation folder: /public_html/sphinx
sphinx config location: /public_html/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf
or should i use this
sphinx config location: /home/flexlear/public_html/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

Try /home/flexlear/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/rep/sphinx.conf

i just tried resetting my cron to

/usr/local/bin/php /home/flexlear/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/cron/reindex.php

i got an error stating
File ‘reindex_config.php’ is missing.

then i just added that file to cron folder in the plugin.

my reindex _config.php has

<?php
define('PATH_TO_SPHINX_INDEXER', '/home/flexlear/public_html/sphinx/bin/indexer');
define('PATH_TO_SPHINX_CONFIG', '/home/flexlear/public_html/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf');
define('SPHINX_INDEX_NAME', 'wordpress');

with no closing ?>
i just followed your reindex_config_sample.php file to edit mine

it again showed the same error
File ‘reindex_config.php’ is missing.

eagerly waiting for your reply.

/usr/local/bin/php /home/flexlear/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/cron/reindex.php

OK, it’s better than error 404.
Try “cd /home/flexlear/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/cron/ && /usr/local/bin/php reindex.php”
Don’t forget to specify “main” or “delta” after “reindex.php”.
It should help.

hi ivinco
finally that command works, our team is really happy and grateful to you please continue your good work you rock……

the sphinx daemon stops automatically after sometime.
is that a bug or can we fix that.
how to remain in the start mode constantly?

Could you post last lines from it’s log? It’s usually located in …/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/log/searchd.log

their is no log folder in the plugin ,but their is one in the sphinx installation
sphinx/var/searchd.log

It looks fine, searchd seems to be running. How do you know it stops automatically after some time?

Actually for the past 3 days i have just left it running
but when i come and notice the plugin page next day morning ,it has stopped automatically, it has happened consecutively for 3 days..

is their any command to restart it for safety issues…?

we are trying to install the same plugin in another domain but it shows a warning
Warning: assert() [function.assert]: Assertion failed in /home/salemdt5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-sphinx-plugin/php/sphinxapi.php on line 596

when cron is assigned to this domain it is indexed perfectly ,but when searched ,it shows a warning like this with no result.

eagerly waiting for your reply..
