Title: How to find if Sphinx Search is installed or not linux server via SSH
Post by: PHPize on September 17, 2011, 03:09:12 PM

Hi

I am in need to know if Sphinx search is already installed on a server or not.  I logged into server and was unable to locate its pid . Also locate command did not give any result either.

I think it is not installed but server owner said it had installation. now I am confused.

generally sphinx goes to /usr/local/var
You can use locate commnd to find sphinx installation files. Best is to find sphinx.conf which contains all required paths info.

If you need to find sphinx searchd is running or not then run command

Code: [Select]

ps aux | grep searchd
