Sphinx: WARNING: Attribute count is 0: switching to none docinfo

Question

I'm new to Sphinx and I can't seem to figure out what this warning is referring to or how to fix it. A google search didn't provide much information so I'm hoping a database guru here knows how to fix this.

Thanks!

Answer 1

There is nothing to be scared. The message says that the mode of additional attributes storing, which is set in the config file, will be turned off, due to absence of these attributes.

docinfo is the complete set of per-document attribute values.
