Piler post installation error.

[B.JEGADEESAN]

We setup new piler in Oracle Linux 8.7 operating system.

We successfully installed all the Mandatory & Highly recommended packages.

After completed the pre-installation steps and start the piler post installation step while run the make postinstall command we got the below error.

Please let us know how to fix this error and completed the post installation.

Try installing manticore. Sphinx 2.x is way too old. I'll also fix the docs to recommend manticore for new installations.

[B.JEGADEESAN]

But in our existing server also had sphinx with upgraded binary files version (3.3.1), So we need to setup our new server same like that. How to achieve this.

[Janos SUTO]

Then install sphinx 3.3.1 and use the sphinx config from the existing server.

[B.JEGADEESAN]

Okay i understood but need one clarification, While we run the make postinstall command above the mentioned error occurred, So as per my understanding after make postinstall command. We copied the sphinx.conf file from our existing server and then start searchd it new server could be start and working fine right?

[Janos SUTO]

In theory yes, however, be sure to check the postinstall script, it’s quite possible that you need to complete manually a few unfinished steps.

[B.JEGADEESAN]

Yah we upgrade sphinx 3.3.1 and copy the sphinx configuration from our existing server, Then run the postinstall script and everything is working fine now. Thanks for your valuable support.
