[ckan-dev] Initial Setup of CKAN

Thu Apr 10 16:08:29 UTC 2014

Hi Matt,

There are services for hosted instances of CKAN and deployment on your own
services at http://ckan.org/services/hosted-slas/ and
http://ckan.org/services/deployment/.

About your issue, are you able to connect to your Postgres instance through
the psql command-line tool on CKAN server? Try using:

psql -h <the-db-post> -U <ckan-db-username> -W <the-database-name>

It'll ask you for the password. If that works, you'd need to check if you
have set up the sqlalchemy.url in your CKAN .ini config file correctly.

Cheers,
