[ckan-dev] Installation problems on RHEL

Mon Jun 24 13:46:49 UTC 2013

Hello,

I confronted the new instructions with the old ones
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/How-to-Install-CKAN-2.0-on-CentOS-6.3
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/How-to-install-ckan-2.0-on-centos-6.3-new

I didn't see many differences besides the different installation locations.

I just wanted to make 2 comments:
In Part 4 the configuration file production.ini is created but then 
referenced as development.ini
> |paster make-config ckan /etc/ckan/default/production.ini
> |

and there is still the same comment about the*version of Solr* in part 4:

> CKAN can not use the latest version of Apache SOLR and requires 
> version 1.4.1.

Have a look at this thread
http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2013-June/005054.html
where Adrià says that CKAN should work perfectly  with latest versions 
of Solr.

Maybe this issue should be cleared.

Thanks
