1.到官网下载源代码安装，你也可以根据系统直接下载rpm包安装

sphinxsearch官方网站

我们这里选择源码安装

下载完之后，放到目录/usr/local/src 下

2.解压

tar -xzvf sphinx-2.2.10-release.tar.gz 
mv sphinx-2.2.10-release sphinx
cd sphinx

3.编译安装

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sphinx
make
make install

4.修改配置文件

cd /usr/local/sphinx/etc/

mv sphinx-min.conf.dist sphinx.conf

vim sphinx.conf

下面是里面的内容配置

#
# Minimal Sphinx configuration sample (clean, simple, functional)
#
source src1
{
    type = mysql
    sql_host = 127.0.0.1    
    sql_user = root
    sql_pass =
    sql_db = test  //数据库name
    sql_port = 3306 # optional, default is 3306


    sql_query = \
    SELECT id, realname,import_id, account, source ,UNIX_TIMESTAMP(import_time) AS import_timestamp \
    FROM contact_list_test


    sql_attr_uint = id
    sql_attr_timestamp= import_timestamp
}

index test1
{
    source = src1
    path = /usr/local/sphinx/var/data/test1
}

index testrt
{
    type = rt
    rt_mem_limit = 128M


    path = /usr/local/sphinx/var/data/testrt


    rt_field = title
    rt_field = content
    rt_attr_uint = gid
}

indexer
{
    mem_limit = 128M
}

searchd
{
    listen = 9312
    listen = 9306:mysql41
    log = /usr/local/sphinx/var/log/searchd.log
    query_log = /usr/local/sphinx/var/log/query.log
    read_timeout = 5
    max_children = 30
    pid_file = /usr/local/sphinx/var/log/searchd.pid
    seamless_rotate= 1
    preopen_indexes= 1
    unlink_old = 1
    workers = threads # for RT to work
    binlog_path = /usr/local/sphinx/var/data
}

5.生成索引:

cd /usr/local/sphinx/bin

 ./indexer -c /usr/local/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf --all

如果此时出现以下错误，

FATAL: failed to lock /usr/local/sphinx/var/data/test1.spl: Resource temporarily unavailable, will not index. Try --rotate option.

请改用命令

 ./indexer -c /usr/local/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf --all --rotate

6.启动spinx搜索服务器:

./usr/local/sphinx/bin/searchd --config /usr/local/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

7.更新sphinx

cd /usr/local/sphinx/bin
./indexer -c /usr/local/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf --all --rotate
/usr/local/sphinx/bin/indexer   -c   /usr/local/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf --all --rotate
