Sphinx：服务器向客户端发送未知的charset。 请向开发人员报告

Question

I'm using Sphinx 2.0.5 and while I call indexer through PHP, Im getting error Sphinx:Server sent charset unknown to the client. Please, report to the developers . What can be the problem ?

Server PHP version is 5.6.30

Only problem occurs when trying to connect Sphinx using mysql or mysqli via PHP.

$link = mysqli_connect ( "127.0.0.1", "root", "", "", 9306 ) or sendErrorMail(array("subject"=>"Failed to connect to sphinx ","sql"=>"","error"=> mysqli_connect_error()));

OR

$link = mysql_connect ( "127.0.0.1:9306", "", "" ) or sendErrorMail(array("subject"=>"Failed to connect to sphinx","sql"=>"","error"=> mysql_error()));

Is the a requirement of any configuration changes ? What am I missing ? Can anyone help ?

Below code works fine :

    $cl = $this->sphinxclient;
    $cl->resetFilters();
    $cl->SetMatchMode(SPH_MATCH_EXTENDED2);
    $cl->setFilter('eventid',array($param['eventId']));
    $result = $cl->Query('','indexerName');

In linux Sphinx gets connected properly using below command :

mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 9306

Got it solved. Probably this occurs with PHP version > 5.4. In Sphinx Installation Bundle there is a file "searchd.cpp" . Over there server language is specified as \\x00 change it to \\x21 and reinstall sphinx. Problem will be solved.
