[ckan-dev] Unable to set debug mode (or reload development.ini file)

Fri Jun 13 03:54:44 UTC 2014

Hi John,

I believe you can't run CKAN in debug mode with apache. You can either run it
wihtout debug mode on apache or run it with paster (debug on or off). If you're
working on developing CKAN, you'd use paster with debug on.
