[ckan-dev] Add Dataset Problem

Sat Jun 29 22:27:34 UTC 2013

Can someone of the developers help me with the add  
dataset/organization/group functionalities?

What do they use (db?? and path files), where do they write (path),  
which files do they needed in order to narrow down a little this very  
strange problem...

I can still edit the already available datasets/groups etc. but cannot  
add new ones!

Plus I would be very gratefull if someone could send me the correct  
folders & files permissions for all folders/subfolders & files that  
are used by CKAN.

Best regards,

G.
