[ckan-dev] R: R: 404 not found when I preview dataset

[Sean Hammond]

Hi Salvatore,

What version of CKAN are you using? And is it a source install of
package install?

If you've added a dataset and the dataset search page still shows 0
datasets, then I'm guessing that you might be using CKAN 1.7.1 and you
don't have the synchronous_search plugin installed. Make sure the
ckan.plugins line in your ini file says synchronous_search, e.g.

    ckan.plugins = stats synchronous_search

About your problem previewing a dataset. CKAN doesn't do previews of
datasets per se, it does previews of the resources that you add to the
datasets. You actually have to add a resource to the dataset, then click
on the resource and go to the resource's page to see the preview.

Assuming you're doing that and still not getting a preview, what type of
resource have you added? e.g. have you uploaded a CSV file? Or added a
link to an Excel file? etc.
