[ckan-dev] Cannot post json data to our own ckan server using the Ckan php client

Thu Mar 6 02:54:42 UTC 2014

Thanks Hayden, Err I should have paid bit more attention to the error
message. I changed the name and used lower case letters and it solved the
issue. I am new to CKAN and I don't know how access the database or what
type of database is used in the server so only way for me to verify whether
there is a dataset or not is through the web interface. But I assume that
it wouldn't have created any datasets on my first try because name was
incorrect.

Cheers
Lloyd
