Dear Hayden,

See the following folders and permission of filestore

we have create on user for ckan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
root at ckan:/# cd /var/lib/ckan/
root at ckan:/var/lib/ckan# ll
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Jul 11 15:04 ./
drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 4096 Jul 11 15:04 ../
drwxrwxrwx  3 ckan root 4096 Jul 11 15:21 default/
root at ckan:/var/lib/ckan# cd default/
root at ckan:/var/lib/ckan/default# ll
total 12
drwxrwxrwx 3 ckan root 4096 Jul 11 15:21 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jul 11 15:04 ../
drwxrwxrwx 2 ckan root 4096 Jul 11 15:21 storage/
root at ckan:/var/lib/ckan/default#
----------------------------------------------------------------------

still it's giving the same error..

And as per the Jason said : ckan.site_url with an IP and port 5000  Which
ckan.site_url we have to set..?

you may see the home page screen that is display while
http://192.168.251.89:5000/ on browser.
