toastdriven/django-haystack — Issue #473: Failure to create index when data is available (Xapian)

State: open

On a fresh installation, Haystack+Xapian fails to create an index (manage.py update_index rebuild_index do nothing) on a fresh install without any indexed data. This causes the webserver to throw an HTTP 500 error:
InvalidIndexError: Unable to open index at /var/www/html/myproject/search_index
