Hi. Yes, this plugin can search through regular pages. You can get more info on features of the plugin here https://www.ivinco.com/software/wordpress-sphinx-search/

Hi Makapaka

I never used this hosting so I can’t say what issues they may have interfering with Sphinx or WP. If you like – ping me at [email protected] and I’ll try to help you.

Best wishes,
Sergey

Hello Fakiex,

Thanks for contacting us!

It looks like you have some issues with compilation of sphinx upon your server. It is hard to guess what exact reason can cause this without log files but do you have gcc compiler installed on vps already? If you don’t, then you would need to install it first to make any kind of compiling. Also you can visit SphinxSearch Engine website and download sphinx.2.1.x RPM for your Linux distribution. This won’t require any compilation and on the 2nd wizard’s stage you will have to choose another options: “Use system binaries”.

Best regards,
Andrey

Hello,
This error could be reproduced with the searching for words that are not in the index.
Fixed in the 3.3.4

Hello, rgilman

You wrote: “Sphinx works on the main site but fails to start on the mirror site.”

So, as we understood: 1) – you want to have the main site and its mirror and they are placed on different servers and the both use Sphinx Search Plugin 2) – you tried to run Sphinx on the both servers (this failed on the mirror host with the config from the main site) and 3) – you put the sphinx configuration file one level higher than ‘htdocs’ (apache document root) on the mirror 4) – you fixed 3) by changing the code of sphinx.conf

For point 1):

In this case it’s not necessary to run indexing separately on the both servers. You can work with the same searchd instance both on the main site and on its mirror host. This allows you to have fully synchronized content on the both servers because the

same set of indexes will be used on the main site and on the mirror.

To make WP Sphinx Search Plugin use a remote connection from the mirror host do as follows:

a) Run “Start” and go to the “Set sphinx connection” section. b) If your main site’s host is for example 20.20.20.20 and the port where sphinx is listening for queries is 15555 fill the form fields with the following values:

Host name or IP address: 20.20.20.20 Port: 15555

press “Save&continue”, then proceed to the other steps and press “OK” in the end.

c) You don’t need to start Sphinx daemon on the mirror host if you configure the WP plugin there to work with a remote connection to the main host.

For point 3),4) You can use the option “Set up path to sphinx indexes” to set up the directory higher than ‘htdocs’. That will be the place your sphinx.conf and indexes will be saved to.

If you still have questions, please ask.
You’re welcome.

Hello Supewinner.
Could you describe your problem in more details?
We never could reproduce the one mentioned earlier in this thread. It would be great if you helped to do that.

Hello Varunms

Chris contacted you then and didn’t hear from you since then. He will contact you today once more.

Hello Athalas

We don’t have in the nearest plans to make it compatible with Sphinx-2.0.4, but it will may be that it will run with no problem with this Sphinx version. Please let me know to [email protected] if it’s critical for you and we can discuss how we can help you.

As for SphinxSE the plugin is not using that and I don’t think it makes sense to do this since SphinxSE has it’s drawbacks and doesn’t bring additional value for the user in this case unless someone is going to build smth based on the plugin which would be using SphinxSE.

Hello Dangerell

[email protected] is a correct email, but anyway please try to send to [email protected] then

varunms, could you archive your whole wp dir and your database and send to [email protected]? This would be very helpful since we cannot reproduce the issue on our side.
