Sphinx 3.0.3 searchd don't see my config

I try ver 3.0.3 (ver 3.0.2 works). The searchd cannot see sphinx.conf .

#indexer --all --config sphinxdata/sphinx.conf

creates indexes how it said in config: 

path = /home/user/sphinx-3.0.3/sphinxdata/indexes/test1

Ok. But:

# bin/searchd
no config file, using 'sphinxdata' folder.

Also tried:

#/home/user/sphinx-3.0.3/bin/searchd --config /home/user/sphinx-3.0.3/sphinxdata/sphinx.conf
No config file, using 'sphinxdata' folder.
Both sphinxdata and config file 'sphinxdata/spinx.conf' exists. Using 'sphinxdata' folder.

I use Ubuntu16 and Sрhinx 3.0.3 binary.

./searchd --stop

while you are in /bin folder
then

DELETE SPHINXDATA FOLDER first thing.

You have to create /usr/local/sphinx/var/data and /usr/local/sphinx/var/log folders on sphinx 3 and not start searchd before indexes created with indexer --all setting.
Once all indexes are created - searchd can be started otherwise it will continue saying:

The searchd cannot see sphinx.conf .
no config file, using 'sphinxdata' folder.
No config file, using 'sphinxdata' folder.
Both sphinxdata and config file 'sphinxdata/spinx.conf' exists. Using 'sphinxdata' folder.

And another difference from old Sphinx is - you have to start and to stop it by providing config file path, not only for indexing. If you do not provide - it creates sphinxdata folder and you have to stop it without config then, delete that sphinxdata folder and start correctly to avoid incorrect setup.

RUN such for start/stop:

./searchd --config /usr/local/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

./searchd --stop --config /usr/local/sphinx/etc/sphinx.conf

The same with indexer - provide a full path to config!

Right answer (from author Sphinx): Remove the folder sphinxdata!

v3, drasticially changed how it 'looks' for the sphinx.conf file, it no longer varies by distribution for example.

In general would say best to use absolute paths... 

/usr/bin/searchd --config /etc/sphinx.conf
