Sphinx warning preload: failed to open
I installed sphinx search service. For creating indexes I use next command:
sudo searchd -c /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf
After get warning message in terminal:
using config file '/etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf'... listening on 127.0.0.1:3322 precaching index 'medicalfacilities' WARNING: index 'medicalfacilities': preload: failed to open /var/data/sphinx/medicalfacilities.sph: No such file or directory; NOT SERVING precaching index 'article_index'
Also tried to stop sphinx:
searchd --stop
and exicute command:
indexer --config /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf --rotate --all
It gave me message:
using config file '/etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf'... indexing index 'medicalfacilities'... FATAL: failed to open /var/data/sphinx/medicalfacilities.tmp.spl: No such file or directory, will not index. Try --rotate option.
Please, explain me, why sphinx does not create indexes file? How fix?
Answer
failed to open /var/data/sphinx/medicalfacilities.tmp.spl: No such file or directory
suggests that the folder /var/data/sphinx/ does not exist. Create it :)
