I'm confused
Does order matter when installing Sphinx Search. If mysql was already installed on my server, can I still install sphinx after or do I have to do them together or Sphinx before?

A:
Yes, definitely you can install Sphinx after all. The typical Sphinx client API - it's just a PHP class.

It's more than just a PHP class... there's a search daemon and indexer that have to run on the server as well - but yes - it's often installed after mysql is already installed.

A:
If you're going to use the SphinxSE engine in MySQL, you will need to recompile MySQL to include the engine.
Refer to this part of the manual: http://www.sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-0.9.9.html#sphinxse-mysql50. We didn't use the SphinxSE engine, we just used the PHP api client, and that we installed after having Apache/PHP/MySQL installed.
You will need to compile Sphinx yourself, but the method is given in that manual link I provided.
