[ckan-dev] Problems installing CKAN, logging

Thu Jun 6 09:29:48 UTC 2013

Dear Adrià,

thanks so much for bringing me into the right direction. I had to add 
file also to [handlers] and substitute console with file  in [logger-ckan].
Might seem obvious, but was not for me in the beginning.

I followed these instructions
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/How-to-Install-CKAN-2.0-on-CentOS-6.3#wiki-Final_CKAN_Configuration

where you just see

https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/How-to-Install-CKAN-2.0-on-CentOS-6.3#wiki-Configure_CKAN_for_Deployment_via_httpd

Probably should be explained better.

I would like to point out another issue:
As I had written in my previous message, there was an issue with a 
missing package in pip-requirements.txt
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/pip-requirements.txt

PasteScript package is missing

I added it to the file to get it installed, otherwise the paster command 
is missing.
PasteScript==1.7.5

Thanks again, probably I will soon come up with some other issue.
