Well, that explains why my greps were fruitless.  Thanks :-)

* The hostname of this machine is dbeach.local.
* I changed the "server_name" parameter of
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ckan from dbeach.local to
data.cityofsantacruz.com and rebooted
* After that change, uploads and data store and Recline visualization
all worked successfully.

I'm *not* 100% understanding this fix -- the nginx.conf file had that
server name in it from day 1 and I did several successful test uploads
and data calls and visualization demos with it.  But if this "breaks"
again, I'll start looking at the nginx and apache2 configs first.

Thanks for your troubleshooting help!
Jim
