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!
