Hi,
I tried it again, but this time I get a same error on a different file location:
manticore | 1.4 kB 00:00:00
manticore-dev | 1.4 kB 00:00:00 http://repo.manticoresearch.com/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found
Trying other mirror.
I’m having difficulty responding to my own post with the result that allow me to fix the issue.
The message that shows up is " Your post was flagged as spam"
I have no idea why it was flagged as spam, as it is the step by step approach to what I did to resolve the issue.
Also, I have followed the steps in the documentation for 3.2.1 Installing Manticore Search from Manticore yum repository. But, when I get to the step: “3.8 Quick Manticore usage tour”, even the most basic items do not work. Has anybody tested the step verbatim to see if they actually work.
I would like to get this work rather than trying to use a docker container.
I finally was able to get it to work after
yum remove Manticore-repo.noarch 0:0.0.1-1
used yum-config-manager to disable repo
From the yum-config-manager disable report deleted all file locations that referred to the repo, including cache
then did a
yum clean all
yum update
then
yum install http://repo.manticoresearch.com/manticore-repo.noarch.rpm
yum install manticore
Here is the issue I have run into regarding documentation and using Manticore – Which I’m new to, I currently use Solr.
I’m running on Centos 7.7, so I start with chapter
“3.2 Installing Manticore packages on RedHat and CentOS”
after that is complete, I pass the other chapters for installs on different platforms and I proceed to: 3.8 Quick Manticore usage tour
At that point, the steps fail with various messages because the items specified in the quick tour instructions do not exist.
If I go back to chapter “2.2 Getting Started using official packages, 2.2.2 Running queries” I find that there are different instructions than chapter “3.8 Quick Manticore usage tour”. If I go back to chapter 2.2, complete the some of the instructions there, I’m able to fill in the holes and get some of the “3.8 Quick Manticore usage tour” items to work. So, I’m trying to run through it.
So, at least for Centos, you need to complete chapter section “3.2 Installing Manticore packages on RedHat and CentOS” then go back do parts of “2.2 Getting Started using official packages” and then go on to “3.8 Quick Manticore usage tour”
The documentation probably needs to be updated to reflect the order of the process after installation so that after an install, regardless of platform, everyone runs the same steps. Because right now they are different.
Are you aware of https://play.manticoresearch.com/ ? I think that’s exactly what you need as unlike the documentation there’s no chance it will fail It will walk you through the basic things and the most important use cases. Please give it a try and let us know.
I agree our documentation is not perfect. We need to improve it significantly.
Thanks, I have everything working now. I have not tried play.manticoresearch.com, but I will have a look at it.
I plan to do some work with UDFs/Plugins and will need compile from source and edit/debug with CLion which will be an experience in and of itself.
Great. On the plugins and UDFs: you can write them in C as well as in Go. The latter has an overhead, very little (few microseconds per call), but in some cases it may be crucial in some cases, e.g. when you have many documents and your function has to examine each. On the other hand Go allows to write a function much sooner and easier. Here’s an example plugins/curl at master · manticoresoftware/plugins · GitHub
I’m seeing the same issues on Amazon Linux 2 (Kernel 5.1)
amzn2extra-php7.2 | 3.0 kB 00:00:00
amzn2extra-vim | 3.0 kB 00:00:00
http://repo.manticoresearch.com/repository/manticoresearch/release/centos/2/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found
Trying other mirror.
One of the configured repositories failed (Manticore Repository),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail.
The fact that it is a 404 error is what gets me asking a query here and not sure if its a server issue or an issue on my end any insights the above query looks the same but then discusses other things.
Does what is expected and I will investigate - I’m upgrading from an old version of Sphinx Search and your pitch looks like a good way forward for us.
PS When I was looking at the instructions I tried to do the copy from the “7” and of course that was just the main unit and not the Columnar Library which I couldn’t find an equivalent link to however your above example of course solved the issues fully.
Thanks for your help much appreciated, and apologies for assuming that Amazon Linux 2 would work
