[ckan-dev] Extension not working

[Nigel Babu]

Hi Pabitra,

Did you install the plugin globally accidentally instead of the ckan
virtualenv? Can you try the following and check if your plugin is listed
there?

source /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
pip freeze

If it's not there, that means you installed it globally and that's why ckan
can't find it.  To install it locally try the following:

# Be root first, so that all the commands afterward are in your virtualenv
sudo su
source /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/<plugin folder>
python setup.py develop

After this try an apache restart and see if it's picked up the plugins.
