[ckan-dev] Configuring the datastore

Thu May 10 18:00:22 UTC 2012

I'm testing CKAN 1.7 with datastore and local filestore enabled.

The problem I am encountering (at least I think that is the problem) is that the data is not being loaded into the datastore. It may very well be incomplete configuration on my part.

These are the steps to reproduce the issue:

 - Upload CSV file resource to a dataset.
 - View the newly created resource.
 - Verify that the file is downloadable by clicking on the 'Download' button.
 - Verify that the data preview does NOT work – no preview or error message is generated by the UI.
 - Go to: http://172.16.148.155/api/data/<resource id>/_schema<http://172.16.148.155/api/data/da1ac926-846b-4bea-9ecb-e9619295b5d8/_schema>
 - Verify the following response is received: {"error":"IndexMissingException[[ckan-std] missing]","status":404}

I suspect that the critical configuration piece that is missing is that the celery daemon is not running. However, the documentation for configuring the datastore [1] does not mention anything about so I've skipped that step.

Hopefully somebody can help me debug this one.

Thanks,
Salman
