[ckan-dev] Plugin not found when deployed to a production server

[Nigel Babu]

Hi Qifeng,

Your plugin must not be installed inside the ckan folder, it should be on the
same level as ckan instead.

/usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckan <-- ckan source code. Don't touch this.

/usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckanext-foo <-- this where your plugin should reside

Once you clone it there, you need to activate your virtualenv and install it:

source /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckanext-foo
python setup.py develop
