  <p>I am setting up a dedicated database server for my app. May I know the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Where should I install Sphinx? App server or database server?</li>
  <li>Is the following <code>/path/to/app/server/current/config/thinking_sphinx.yml</code> correct:
  <code>
  address: database_server_ip_address
  pid_file: /path/to/app/server/shared/pids/searchd.pid
  indices_location: /path/to/app/server/shared/db/sphinx
  configuration_file: /path/to/app/server/shared/config/production.sphinx.conf
  </code></li>
  </ol>
