Using haystack with Whoosh

Question

Requires setting HAYSTACK_WHOOSH_PATH to the place on your filesystem where the Whoosh index should be located. Can anyone explain where exactly this path is pointing? I mean what should i give in this path?

Any directory you wish. You can use this configuration:

import os, sys
PROJECT_ROOT      = os.path.dirname(__file__)
HAYSTACK_WHOOSH_PATH = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'search_index')

Any directory where you have write access will do, as long as its filesystem has enough space to store the Whoosh index, like /home/mysite/whoosh_index (straight from the docs). Just make sure the contents aren't made public by the webserver.
