This post will help you to install Sphinx on cPanel or CentOS. Sphinx is a free software. It is designed to provide full-text search functionality to client applications.

Install Sphinx

The latest Sphinx version can be found from Here

Download the package and install it using the following link.

 
wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinx-2.2.10-release.tar.gz
tar xzf sphinx-2.2.10-release.tar.gz
cd sphinx-2.2.10-release
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

After the installation, please create a configuration file.

 
cp -pr /usr/local/etc/sphinx.conf.dist /usr/local/etc/sphinx.conf

Then, we need to create the start-up scripts.

 
vim /etc/init.d/searchd

and add the following:

 
#!/bin/bash

case "${1:-''}" in
'start')
/usr/local/bin/searchd
;;
'stop')
/usr/local/bin/searchd --stop
;;
'restart')
/usr/local/bin/searchd --stop && /usr/local/bin/searchd
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $SELF start|stop|restart"
exit 1
;;
esac

Make the start-up script file excecutable.

 
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/searchd

and start the service.

 
/etc/init.d/searchd start

Also, you can set autostart after server reboot by adding the start-up script on rc.local file.

 
vim /etc/rc.local

and add the following on it.

 
/etc/init.d/searchd start

That’s it!
