Control panel for Sphinx?

Question

n00b here

Is there some kind of control panel for Sphinx (to make things easier)?

Or is there a way I can use Plesk to handle it?

I already installed (sphinx-0.9.9) on my CentOS, I just don't know what to do next to index and search on MySql (with php)

Also, can someone explain about using the daemon, api, etc...

Sorry, not that I know of. Looks like you're stuck with your hands in the config files.

As for using Sphinx - as with any product, service, or platform, I'm afraid the most responsible answer is a friendly "RTM." That said, it seems like you may want to skip just a little ahead.
