[ckan-dev] file storage setup in 1.7

Thu May 24 08:51:55 UTC 2012

Hi Jim

If you're using 1.7 you shouldn't need ckanext-storage at all, it might just 
confuse the situation so probably best if you disable it (remove it from your .ini).

Could you post your .ini to pastebin with any sensitive (database) info removed? 
Everytime this happens to me it is because I've forgotten to install pairtree
or have set ofs.storage_dir to a folder where I don't have permissions.

I'm assuming you are using local file storage, in which case it might be worth seeing 
if CKAN has created a pairtree_version0_1 file (empty) in the folder specified in 
ofs.storage_dir. If not create one and see if that makes a difference.
