Topic on Extension talk:SphinxSearch

Hi there,

I'm running MediaWiki 1.21.2 on Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 LTS. I'm also using SphinxSearch. It worked for a couple weeks, but now no matter what I search for on the Wiki, the results are nothing. I'm not sure why it would randomly stop working. Maybe I skipped a step? Did I not configure the "refresh" or "update" part of things? There's a word for it, but I'm not a Linux guy so I don't quite remember. Thank you!!

If SphinxSearch suddenly stopped working on your Wiki, make sure your search daemon is running:

 ps -ef | grep searchd

If you need to restart the daemon, you can use a command similar to this:

 searchd --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf >> /var/log/sphinxsearch/sphinx-startup.log 2>&1
