Hi @astrava,
While many things changed since 9.18 and we no longer officially support it, the Sphinx version remained the same.
IMPORTNAT NOTE: This is not true for the older CE version you have with Sphinx 2.0.4 for which I can offer you no other solution but to upgrade.
With 9.18, you should be able to obtain the RPM package for kaltura-sphinx from the latest repo, extract the searchd binary, override your existing one and test with it.
Please be sure to only override the search binaries as per the instructions below and do not upgrade the whole package as it contains the kaltura-populate init script which also changed since your version.
You can do it like this:
# mkdir /tmp/new_sphinx
# cd /tmp/new_sphinx
# wget http://installrepo.origin.kaltura.org/repo/releases/13.15.0/6/RPMS/x86_64/kaltura-sphinx-2.2.1-23.x86_64.rpm
# rpm2cpio kaltura-sphinx-2.2.1-23.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
# cp -r /opt/kaltura/sphinx/bin /opt/kaltura/sphinx/bin.orig
# service kaltura-sphinx stop
# cp ./opt/kaltura/sphinx/bin/* /opt/kaltura/sphinx/bin/
# service kaltura-sphinx start
If, after upgrading the binaries as described above, you’re still having issues, you’ll need to obtain the debug version and load it as per my instructions here:
then, provide a stack trace and we’ll see what we can do:)
