After running the make command it will take some time to compile the code. Make sure that the ha_sphinx.so is created inside the storage/sphinx folder. If it didn’t, may be we did something wrong. You need to check out on that.
Next step is to copy the compiled shared object / library from the storage/sphinx to the MySQL plugin folder. Now we have to install the plugin. For that login to the MySQL server as root and execute the command. Verify whether the storage engine is enabled or not .
How to Uninstall the plugin: You can also uninstall the plugin by using the following command.
