Hi,
Here‘s a small howto on installing Sphinx Search (http://sphinxsearch.com/) and configuring it to work with Adult Script Pro. By using sphinx
you will be able to allow users to search for video on your adult tube site by title, description and tags. The search results will be automatically
ordered by relevance (its almost the same as using mysql MATCH_AGAINST, but faster and it can support even 1.000.000 videos).
You will need ssh root access. The installation itself is quite easy, depending on your distribution:
Ubuntu (tested on Ubuntu 10.10):
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch
CentOs (tested on 5.4):
yum install sphinx
Configuring sphinx si also straight forward, all you need to do is edit the sphinx configuration file and add:
source videos
{
type = mysql
sql_host = localhost
sql_user = mysql-username
sql_pass = mysql-password
sql_db = mysql-database
sql_sock = /var/lib/mysqld/mysqld.sock (this depends on your server)
sql_port = 3306
sql_query_pre = SET NAMES utf8
sql_query = SELECT v.video_id, v.title, v.description, v.mobile, v.add_time, v.rating, v.total_views, v.duration, v.video_id AS video, \ #added in RC4
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT t.name SEPARATOR ‘ ‘) AS tags FROM video AS v LEFT JOIN video_tags AS t ON (t.video_id = v.video_id) WHERE v.status = 1 GROUP BY v.video_id
sql_attr_uint = video #added in RC4
sql_attr_uint = mobile
sql_attr_uint = total_views
sql_attr_float = duration
sql_attr_float = rating
sql_attr_timestamp = add_time
sql_attr_multi = uint categories FROM query; SELECT video_id, cat_id FROM video_category
sql_query_info = SELECT video_id, add_date FROM video WHERE video_id=$id
}
index videos
{
source = videos
path = /var/lib/sphinxsearch/data/videos (this depends on your distribution)
charset_type = utf-8
min_prefix_len = 3
enable_star = 1
}
searchd
{
port = 3312
log = /var/log/sphinxsearch/searchd.log (this depends on your distribution)
query_log = /var/log/sphinxsearch/query.log (this depends on your distribution)
pid_file = /var/log/sphinxsearch/searchd.pid (this depends on your distribution)
}
The sphinx data and log folders might depend on your distribution.
After this you need to create the initial index with the following command:
indexer --all --config /path/to/your/sphinx/configuration/file.conf
You will also need to create a cron file and place it into the /etc/cron.hourly (or add it to cron from cpanel or console). The script
should be named sphinx and chmoded to 755, with the following contents:
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/indexer --all --rotate --config /path/to/your/sphinx/configuration/file.conf
Thats it :-)
If you dont have the time do the installation yourself, or you dont like the linux console, just drop us a email and we can do the installation
for 49$.
