any suggestion?

Thanks for advance

Hiya,

I think you should simply have changed the runlevel of searchd so that it automatically starts when the server does.

However it appears as though it's just a problem with the locks - can you delete them and restart searchd?

also you may want to diff sphinx.conf and sphinx.conf.old - as perhaps sphinx.conf.old was the config file created by your first install of sphinx.

Okay, I've finally gotten around to installing it myself... any questions?
