Sphinx indexer delta --rotate

I have followed the sphinx manual here: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/current.html#delta-updates on how to perform delta updates to your index.

my searchd is running of the correct config file. the indexer was previously ran to create the main index.

when I run this command:

indexer -c /home/brandon/workspace/gallery/server/lib/sphinx/sphinx.conf --rotate delta

I get this result:

using config file '/home/brandon/workspace/gallery/server/lib/sphinx/sphinx.conf'...开发者_开发技巧

rotating indices: succesfully sent SIGHUP to searchd (pid=28039).

Everything looks as though it worked, and the main index should have been updated. I then go to my search bar, but it has not been updated as I can't search for the new item.

Any suggestions?

Make sure you search using both (main and delta) indexes in your app. Delta index is just another index, so basically when you reindex delta index, it adds nothing to the main index. So your app should search in both indexes (main, delta).

My suggestion is simple. Write a simple program to index it frequently and after that restart sphinx service ( searchd ). The results would come out.

Make sure you include both main and index in the api code. ( $index = "main,delta"; )

you may follow my instruction in the previous answer here: Does Sphinx auto update is index when you add data to your SQL?
