Install Full Text Search

Install OpenFTS module

If you want full text search, and you are running PostgreSQL, install this module to support FTS. Do this step after you have installed both PostgreSQL and AOLserver. You will need the openfts tarball in /tmp.

  1. Install Tsearch. This is a PostgreSQL module that OpenFTS requires.

    [root root]# su - postgres
[postgres pgsql]$ cd /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/tsearch/
[postgres tsearch]$ make
sed 's,MODULE_PATHNAME,$libdir/tsearch,g' tsearch.sql.in >tsearch.sql
/usr/bin/flex  -8 -Ptsearch_yy -o'parser.c' parser.l(many lines omitted)
rm -f libtsearch.so
ln -s libtsearch.so.0.0 libtsearch.so
[postgres tsearch]$ make install
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/doc/contrib
(2 lines omitted)
/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 755 libtsearch.so.0.0 /usr/local/pgsql/lib/tsearch.so
[postgres tsearch]$ exit
logout

[root root]#
su - postgres
cd /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/tsearch
make
make install
exit

  2. Unpack the OpenFTS tarball and compile and install the driver.

    [root root]# cd /usr/local/src
[root src]# tar xzf /tmp/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2.tar.gz
[root src]# cd /usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2/
[root Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2]# ./configure --with-aolserver-src=/usr/local/src/aolserver/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/lib/
checking prefix... /usr/local
checking for gcc... gcc
(many lines omitted)
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile.global
[root Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2]# make
(cd parser; make all)

[root Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2]# cd aolserver
[root aolserver]# make

[root aolserver]# cp nsfts.so /usr/local/aolserver/bin/
[root aolserver]#
cd /usr/local/src 
tar xzf /tmp/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2/
./configure --with-aolserver-src=/usr/local/src/aolserver/aolserver --with-tcl=/usr/lib/
make
cd aolserver
make
cp nsfts.so /usr/local/aolserver/bin

  3. Build some supplemental modules.

    [root aolserver]# cd /usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2
[root Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2]# cp -r pgsql_contrib_openfts /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib
[root Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2]# cd /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/pgsql_contrib_openfts
[root pgsql_contrib_openfts]# make
sed 's,MODULE_PATHNAME,$libdir/openfts,g' openfts.sql.in >openfts.sql
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -fpic -I. -I../../src/include   -c -o openfts.o openfts.c
gcc -shared -o openfts.so openfts.o
rm openfts.o
[root pgsql_contrib_openfts]# su postgres
[postgres pgsql_contrib_openfts]$ make install
/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 openfts.sql /usr/local/pgsql/share/contrib
/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 755 openfts.so /usr/local/pgsql/lib
/bin/sh ../../config/install-sh -c -m 644 ./README.openfts /usr/local/pgsql/doc/contrib
[postgres pgsql_contrib_openfts]$ exit
[root pgsql_contrib_openfts]#
cd /usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.2
cp -r pgsql_contrib_openfts /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib
cd /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/pgsql_contrib_openfts
make
su postgres
make install
exit

Install OpenFTS prerequisites in PostgreSQL instance

If you are installing Full Text Search, add required packages to the new database. (In order for full text search to work, you must also install the PostgreSQL OpenFTS module and prerequisites.)

[service0 service0]$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql service0 -f /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/tsearch/tsearch.sql
BEGIN
CREATE
(many lines omitted)
INSERT 0 1
COMMIT
[service0 service0]$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql service0 -f /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/pgsql_contrib_openfts/openfts.sql
CREATE
CREATE
[service0 service0]$
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql service0 -f /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/tsearch/tsearch.sql
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql service0 -f /usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.4/contrib/pgsql_contrib_openfts/openfts.sql

Enable OpenFTS in config.tcl

If you have installed OpenFTS, you can enable it for this service. Uncomment this line from config.tcl. (To uncomment a line in a tcl file, remove the # at the beginning of the line.)

#ns_param   nsfts           ${bindir}/nsfts.so
