Sphinx and SphinxSE
Recently a client requested to setup SphinX, a great full-text search engine for MySQL. Installing the Sphinx daemon was straightforward as you can compile it from the source or use a .DEB/.RPM package but SphinxSE was a little bit tricky since it needed to be installed as a plugin on a running MySQL server.
So if you use Debian or Centos and install your MySQL from a .deb or .rpm package this is how you do it.
1. This requires MySQL 5.1 since it supports plugins and you will not have to recompile MySQL to have support for SphinxSE.

Build your own .deb packages
I wanted to upgrade mydns on etch to mydns-ng and the package was missing.
So I decided to build my own using checkinstall which was missing for Debian etch, so I googled it and fond a link:
installed it
downloaded mydns-ng
the BUILD opt
# wget http://debian.nix.hu/debian/dists/etch/checkinstall/binary-i386/checkins...# dpkg -i checkinstall_1.6.1-1_i386.deb# wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mydns-ng/mydns-1.2.8.26.tar.gz# tar -xzvf mydns-1.2.8.26.tar.gz# cd mydns-1.2.8Categorised under:
