Some basic questions to sphinx

1. I installed sphinx and I could see the search results.
   
2. After some days I noticed that the vbulletin database table "vbsphinxsearch_queue" had thousands of entries.
   
3. I was unsure if that was right and looked at the cronjobs. They were looking right.
   
4. I then just run the every-10-minutes-cronjob /usr/local/sphinx/cron/delta.sh That took more than one hour and this time my life board went offline.
   
5. As I could not take my board offline as I could not even get to forum.com/admincp, I shut down the /usr/local/sphinx/cron/delta.sh job while it was running by hitting STRG+C.
   
6. My forum works good after that, also the sphinx search.
   
7. But I can not execute /usr/local/sphinx/cron/delta.sh again, then I always get this error message:
   
   

   (...)

The forum runs now with the usual vbulletin search engine, but I'd like to know how I can setup sphinx search again

I just had this error, and in my case it seems to be nothing to do with the config file, despite the error.

I closed the boards using the AdminCP and ran delta.sh and got the above error about Invalid Token. I opened the boards and ran delta.sh and it ran just fine.

I hope that might help someone.

Anyone ever get this to work? I just did everything as instructed and it does the same thing.

Ok, can anyone tell me one thing :

here are my board stats :


I am willing to install SPHINX on my board, but my board is split on 2 servers, one is with files other is having database.
Can you guys confirm to me on which server should i install this thing webserver or database server.

I am confused and secondly which page steps are correct to follow, i will follow this one.
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...-vBulletin-4.0

Please confirm quickly.

And one more thing, i dont want to close the board, just turn off the search during installs is it possible

I installed it on my webserver.

Not working at all.
I tried everything fine, but when it stats indexing , it stops at 73000 thread.
Waited for 2 hours , nothing happened. tried a reinstall still same step stuck up.

Any ideas why this is happening and i am on VBULLETIN 4.1.1
I think this is the issue.
