[ckan-dev] how to enable file upload CKAN 2.0

Wed Mar 27 01:03:24 UTC 2013

Hi Vìtor

Thanks for your response. Yes, as far as following the Filestore configuration documentation guide, I believe I have everything setup. On your advice, I updated to the last commit in master but I result was the same.

The relevant values in my development.ini file are:

ckan.storage.bucket = my-bucket-name
ofs.impl = pairtree
ofs.storage_dir = /home/administrator/pyenv/filestore
ckan.site_url = http://opendata.xvt.com.au/data

I have pairtree installed and the storage directory /home/administrator/pyenv/filestore is owned by 'administrator' and is empty.
The ckan.site_url is appended with /data which is my ckan homepage.

Please let me know, Vìtor (or anyone else) of anything further I might be able to try to track down the cause of my problem.
Cheers
George

Hi George,

Do you still have this problem? If so, could you double check if you set up the configuration values in http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/filestore.html#local-file-storage, including ckan.site_url, and that the folder you put into ofs.storage_dir is created, empty, and writable to CKAN's user?

I've tried setting this up locally and everything seems fine. If you're still unable to do it, could you try updating CKAN to the latest commit in master and retrying?

Cheers,
Vítor Baptista.

Hi Everyone
I'm new to CKAN. I've stalled 2.0 and followed 'setup and configuration' on this page http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.8/filestore.html for local file storage but I find that when I try to add data to a dataset, I don't have a file upload option - only 'Link to a file' and 'Link to an API'

After following the instructions for local storage, I should have a file upload option, right?

Thanks if anyone can give me any advice on this.

George
