Restarting Sphinx with a new conf file

Resetting the Sphinx search daemon to change the index it runs against is a multi step process.

1. Of course you need to either edit the existing .conf file or create a fresh one that contains the new data source and index information.

2. The search daemon process should be killed.

3. The new index should be created:

./indexer --config /path/to/conf/sphinx.conf --all

4. Restart the search daemon

./searchd -c /directory/to/config/file/sphinx.conf
