[ckan-dev] what happened to the data viewer?

[Dominik Moritz]

Sorry, I forgot to write on the list. We were able to solve the problem off the list.

Yes, the file was on a local machine. The dataproxy which is used by the recline previews if the data is not in the datastore, can only read files that accessible from the internet. You can either enable the datastore or upload the files to a location that is accessible from the internet.

Cheers,
Dominik
