[ckan-dev] Problems installing CKAN, logging

Tue Jun 4 18:14:38 UTC 2013

Hello,

I am new to CKAN and tried to install it on RedHat. I followed the instructions on 
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/How-to-Install-CKAN-2.0-on-CentOS-6.3#wiki-Download_and_install_CKAN

I had a first problem not having the paster command. It seems that the PasteScript Package was missing in the file pip-requirements.txt.

After having solved this, I have the following problem:
After having created the configuration file development.ini as described 
paster --plugin=ckan sysadmin add admin --config=development.ini

I changed this line for the ckan logfile as described in the instructions
args = ("/var/log/ckan/[DNS]/ckan.log", "a", 20000000, 9)
so I get the following part in development.ini

[handler_console]
class = StreamHandler
args = ("/var/log/ckan/mtester.ies.jrc.it/ckan.log", "a", 20000000, 9,)
level = NOTSET
formatter = generic

but it seems that the arguments are not accepted, see for example output of this command

(pyenv)[ckan at mtester ckan]$ paster --plugin=ckan user list  --config=development.ini
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/mtester.ies.jrc.it/pyenv/bin/paster", line 8, in <module>

    handlers = _install_handlers(cp, formatters)
  File "/usr/local/mtester.ies.jrc.it/pyenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/paste/script/util/logging_config.py", line 158, in _install_handlers
    h = apply(klass, args)
TypeError: __init__() takes at most 2 arguments (5 given)

Only if I write 
args = ("/var/log/ckan/ckan.log",)

I seem to have the correct number of arguments, but the logfile is never created, it seems that the StreamHandler cannot write to it (I got an error message when installing the ckanext-harvest extension).                   

Can anybody help ?

Thanks a lot
