howto upgrade sphinx 3.1.1

[d tbsky]

Hi:

I create a test vm with piler 1.3.5 and sphinx 2.2 and throw in some mails. everything works fine. now I want to upgrade sphinx from 2.2 to 3.1.1. according to piler document http://www.mailpiler.org/wiki/current:sphinx3

I need to add “define('SPHINX_VERSION', 311);” to sphinx.conf

I don’t know where to add that line (google didn’t help me). if I add that line at head of sphinx.conf.

then result below:

/usr/bin/searchd --config /etc/piler/sphinx.conf
Sphinx 3.1.1 (commit 612d99f)

using config file '/etc/piler/sphinx.conf'...
ERROR: invalid section type 'define' in /etc/piler/sphinx.conf line 5 col 7.

thanks for the hint!

I thought 1.3.5 was new

I download master branch and get the new sphinx.conf. it is mixed with php and sphinx configuration. and there are comments about sphinx 3.1.1.

so I will wait next release for upgrade. hope reindex won’t take weeks to finish.
