[ckan-dev] Missing steps in deployment guide?

Wed Jun 11 16:15:09 UTC 2014

I'm guessing this is due to the Apache version on 14.04 being different.
Useful note, I guess lots of people are trying to install CKAN on 14.04
right now, and at some point we'll have to extend official support for
it and update the docs
