After hours of searching Google and StackOverflow, I haven’t been able to resolve this issue…

I’m trying to install Sphinx Search on my VPS, but I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing. All I know is that this search feature is extremely important to my project.

I’ve tried the following commands in puTTy to unpack the Sphinx tarball:

tar xzvf sphinx-2.0.6-release.tar.gz

tar -xzvf sphinx-2.0.6-release.tar.gz

It says there’s no such file or directory. I know the file is there because I put it there myself, so I’m assuming now that I’ve misunderstood what is going on here.

Can someone get me past this step so that I can get lost on the next one?

    It says there’s no such file or directory. I know the file is there because I put it there myself,

    Probably not in the right folder – need to ‘cd’ into the folder containing the file.

    But as you dont seem that familer with linux, would suggest using the RPM file instead – so dont have to compile from source.

    get the RPM from
    http://sphinxsearch.com/downloads/release/
    and then upload that. Then use “yum localinstall nameofrpmfile.rpm”

    Check the output of uname -a to find if you have 64bit or 32bit system. If mentions x86_64 you have 64bit, and so want the x86_64 RPM file.
