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

[Salvatore Altiero]

Hi Hammond,
my CKAN version is 1.6 and is a package install, you advise me to install or update to 1.7.2 ? 

I've added synchronous_search in ckan.plugins and restart apache, but the dataset search page still shows 0 datasets.

I've tried to install datastorer but the firse pip command give me an error "No such file or directory while executing command git clone -q git://github.com/okfn/ckanext-datastorer.git /root/src/ckanext-datastorer".

Thanks

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.
