PHP 4 constructor deprecation warnings

RESOLVED
Fixed for release branches 1.31 and beyond.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

If you use PHP7 you might get a warning about deprecated class constructors. The simplest thing to do here is to rename the existing constructor to __construct() and create a new stub function with the old constructor name. The stub function points to the new constructor, so it'll work in both PHP 4, 5 and 7. See example below.

// PHP 4 Constructor

function SphinxClient () {

self::__construct();

}

// PHP 7 Constructor

function __construct () {

// Original constructor code goes here...

debian 9 notes

these are notes after spending hours to get sphinx working on debian 9. they may not be complete .

using stretch package I could not get sphinx to stay running.

however using a jessie deb it works fine.

see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=861262 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788284

also after i had to do these.

chown  -R  sphinxsearch /var/log/sphinx

and in /etc/init.d/sphinxsearch



PIDFILE=/var/log/sphinx/searchd.pid

in our case /etc/sphinxsearch/sphinx.conf did not have a PIDFILE specified . could be that years ago it just worked using the one under /var/log/sphinxsearch . RobFantini (talk) 13:54, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

then had to fix systemd :

key 'sql_query_info' was permanently removed from Sphinx configuration. Refer to documentation for details.

RESOLVED
Fixed for release branches 1.31 and beyond.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The version of sphinx have been changed after using “yum update”.

The new version maybe not support "sql_query_info".

WARNING infomation like this:

using config file '/usr/local/sphinx--with-mysql/etc/sphinx.conf'...WARNING: key 'sql_query_info' was permanently removed from Sphinx configuration. Refer to documentation for details.

WARNING: key 'enable_star' was permanently removed from Sphinx configuration. Refer to documentation for details.

WARNING: key 'charset_type' was permanently removed from Sphinx configuration. Refer to documentation for details.

WARNING: key 'max_matches' was permanently removed from Sphinx configuration. Refer to documentation for details.

Anyone can tell me how to fix it ? Xk casper (talk) 07:09, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

These keys have been removed from the sample config file today, so new installations will not have this issue. For any current installation, edit your sphing.conf file and remove all lines that have those four strings. Svemir Brkic (talk) 22:59, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
