@Jason SQL datasource has been discussed here – http://www.sanisoft.com/blog/2010/08/23/sql-data-source-in-sphinx/. The reason XML datasource is mentioned here because Sphinx supports it .

Why on earth would you write a whole XML script for your data when Sphinx can index data from MySQL directly?!

Madness…

@Chris: For the above example, you should replace the contents of conf file with what I have shown above.

When using xmlpipe2 datasource – db connection is established in the php script which streams the xml so no question of defining the db connection in conf file.

Yes multiple config files can reside in projects folders and you need to use “-c” option while indexing (and starting searchd) to specify which config file to use.

Hi, Enjoying the tutorial, still trying to get my head around what exactly is going on with your conf file.

I started out with the Sphinx test and created the quick start demo but your instruction to create a conf in the same dir is a little confusing. Or maybe it is just not explicit enough for me, being a new kid on the block.

The conf resides in /usr/local/sphinx/ by default and has all options commented out, are you saying to add your config content to the file or replace the content with yours?

If so how does it know the DB connection etc, don’t tell me I think I know, From the PHP file.

Can have multiple config files residing in projects folders?
