[ckan-dev] Trouble setting up email notifications

Wed Mar 12 16:33:39 UTC 2014

Hi,

I'm trying to get e-mail notifications setup for a local CKAN instance and having some trouble.

While trying to run the '/api/action/send_email_notifications' request through the terminal I get errors like this "Bad request - JSON Error: No request body data".  I have tried:

1.       sending as simple http request through a browser

2.       sending as a curl request - 'curl http://geodataportaldev/api/action/send_email_notifications -H "Authorization:my-api-key"'

3.       sending as a paster request as outlined in the docs  -  echo '{}' | /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/paster --plugin=ckan post -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini /api/action/send_email_notifications

a.       ensuring that the paths are correct to production.ini in the paster request

4.       adding authorization (api_key) to all variations of the request

5.       ensured email notifications where enabled and sending to a valid email

6.       ensured there where recent changes to data that would trigger an email

I'm unsure where to go from here.  If anyone has a working example of a request this could be helpful to make sure that I am getting the syntax correct.  Otherwise I am seeing little useful info in regards to log errors.

Thank You,
