[ckan-dev] pdf_preview problem

Fri May 16 09:55:37 UTC 2014

I guess there is a problem with your CKAN configuration, because I did the
intallation of CKAN 2.2 several time on several machine now, and I have
never had that problem. Maybe it would help if you can describe what you
have done to install and configure CKAN.
