I just upgraded to the latest code in the repository. I am running on Django 1.2.4 using Apache with modwsgi. Every once in a while when someone adds a new topic or adds a reply to a current topic I get this error

PicklingError at /forum/topic/1/post/add/

check permission to HAYSTACK_WHOOSH_PATH (djangobb_index by default)
what version of HAYSTACK u used? i does't tested forum with latest version (released in this mionth)

Thank you for replying so quickly! I checked the Haystack index folder and index are getting created. The folder is owned by the apache user and group (the same user who runs apache) and that user has write permissions. I am using Whoosh version 1.8.2 and haystack 1.2.0.

I just looked it appears djangobb only supports Haystack 1.1.0, so that may be the issue.

i u can - test pls with 1.1.0 if it will be ok - create ticket at http://djangobb.org/newticket [djangobb.org]

This is also occurring for me. Strangely enough, it stops occurring when I re-install django-haystack==1.1.0, but then returns a few days later.

Is there a way to use DjangoBB without Haystack?

disable it from urls.py + remove it from menu via template
altter we planning added option for this
