Stratus Panel - Sphinx > Configuration

The Webscale STRATUS Sphinx service is designed for the Mirasvit Magento 2 search extension but may work for other modules.

Configure the Mirasvit extension with the following settings:

  • Set the Engine to “External Engine”
  • Set the path to “/usr/bin/searchd” on port 9312
  • Set the host/ip to “sphinx”
  • Under Additional Configuration > Custom Base Path, add “/srv/public_html/var/sphinx”
  • Save the configuration

This will generate a sphinx.conf in var/sphinx in the Magento document root. This file must be generated before enabling Sphinx in the Sphinx Info panel .

The location of the configuration file should be set in the Sphinx Configuration panel.

  1. Go to Sphinx > Configuration in the Webscale STRATUS sidebar menu. * Configuration —Enter any configuration customizations. * Path to Config File — Edit the file path to the Sphinx configuration file.
  2. Click UPDATE.
  3. Click REINDEX to force a re-index of the Sphinx service.

Re-indexing should be completed after any configuration update.
