[ckan-dev] Extension not working

Fri Feb 7 04:15:24 UTC 2014

Thanks Nigel for the suggestions. I ran the "pip freeze" command but it did not list any of my extensions. I usually follow the same commands as you have suggested here to install an extension. However, I tried to go through the installation process again.

Here is the output:

Do you see anything wrong from the above output?

I did restart the apache after the above installation. Still it is not picking up the extension.

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.

Hello Pabitra,

To install a plugin you have to copy the files in the machine, modify the production.ini AND ALSO install the extension/plugin. To do it go to the folder of the extension (the folder where the setup.py file is) and run this command:

    sudo python setup.py develop

Hope it helps, 

Jesús Redondo.

Hi All,

I have developed couple of extensions and never had any problem in deploying to the production server. I did try to installation a new extension today on my production server that works on my dev machine but doesn't work on the production server. I am suppose
 to see a new menu option as part on this new extension and I don't see that. To test I changed the extension name in the production.ini and I got an expected error (PlugInNotFoundError). I have restarted the apache and nginx. I am running CKAN 2.1.

Any help to sort this out be appreciated.

Thanks,

Pabitra
