Convert website source code to Joomla CMS

Ok I was given these instructions and source code(Php) to upload to a share hosting or web server in order to make my own website copy under open source rights. Now here my problem after I upload the source to my domain directory in my cpanel, Everything great and the website works. EXCEPT the " Sphinx Search Engine" which gives me a 404 error message every time i search for something on the website. It's a known bug and many have had it and there maybe a fix found here--> [login to view URL] .. But I've been at it 5 hours now and still I can't fix the bug, but it may be because I'm fixing the problem wrong. So I need the Sphinx search engine fix and I want it updated to the latest version which is 2.2.6. By the way I think updating it will fix the problem. And lastly I need this to be ported to joomla CMS so I may manage the website from there. After that it's DONE. Not to big of a job and nice pay at that ^_^
