Turned out that as well as a place holder in sphinxapi.php the "localhost" was also hard coded into the test.php code provided

Yes it is very odd. With the new database that I have added if I don't use --rotate it overwrites the current file but if I use --rotate it creates .new files (even subsequently). The other files are still in place and rotate correctly when I install the DELTA files on the main forum databases every 5 minutes.
So as you say a bit confising but other than that pretty impressive
An update to this - I relised that maye the problem is that searchd needs to be fuly restarted to re-read the config file before it knows about the new files and allows them to be rotated.
Starting a new data set in Sphinx seems to require:
1) creating without the --rotate flag
2) Stopping searchd completly (kill `cat /var/log/searchd.pid`)
3) restarting searchd with the updated config file sphinx.conf
After those changes things seem to once again work.
Hi another update / query
Well having managed to get sphinx up and running and the test.php element searching the data we thought we would try the next steps.
Unfortunately we are still using 3.0.x and the search.php has changed a huge amount
I don't suppose anyone has tried adding sphinx search to 3.0.x?
Looking at the changes suggested I can find c1 and c2 - though the variable names have changed along with c4 and c5.
Obviously with the variable name changes oban your very useful sphinx.php will need various changes to the variables.
But if anyone has tried this with 3.0.x please let me know
