Sphinx and its configuration

The process of configuring Sphinx in a project, using CentOS 7.x as an example.

In other operating systems, the path to the Sphinx directory may be different.

Install Sphinx on the server.

The minimum recommended version is 2.2.11+.
In the project's admin panel, specify the connection parameters for Sphinx in the "Site Settings / System Settings / Others / Sphinx" section.

Host - 127.0.0.1 (default)

Port - 9306 (default)

Path - absolute path to the Sphinx data directory - /var/lib/sphinx/ (default)

Version - the version of Sphinx installed on the server
Run the console command to generate an up-to-date Sphinx configuration file.
```
cd /path/to/project/public_html/
php index.php bff=sphinx
```
After that, an up-to-date configuration file /config/sphinx.conf will be generated for your project.

This command needs to be executed again when accessing the database is changed.
Copy the contents of the configuration file /config/sphinx.conf.global to the system configuration file for Sphinx /etc/sphinx/sphinx.conf

In this file, specify the path to the /config/sphinx.conf file in your project in the files block, for example:
```
files=(
     "/path/to/project/config/sphinx.conf"
)
```
Check the correctness of indexing by executing the command:
```
indexer --all --rotate
```
Start the searchd service and make sure it will automatically start after server reboot.

Configure cron tasks for indexing:

For Classifieds they are as follows:

# Items:
4 3 * * * indexer itemsIndexMain --quiet --rotate
1-59/5 * * * * indexer itemsIndexDelta --quiet --rotate; indexer --merge itemsIndexMain itemsIndexDelta --rotate
# Shops (if you use this module):
4 7 * * * indexer shopsIndexMain --quiet --rotate
2-59/5 * * * * indexer shopsIndexDelta --quiet --rotate; indexer --merge shopsIndexMain shopsIndexDelta --rotate

Enable the use of Sphinx in the relevant sections of "Site Settings / System Settings".
