[Xapian-discuss] newb: Xapian Database setup

[Ram Peters]

what is argument "dbpath" in Xapian.WritableDatabase (I am uisng
python binding)?

eg:
    db = xapian.WritableDatabase(dbpath,
        xapian.DB_CREATE_OR_OPEN)

I have installed rpm packages for Xapian and the bindings.  I am not
using Omega.
How does Xapian creates it's database?  Do I have to manually create
them, any config file to specify username, password, ports and such?

Thank you
