[ckan-dev] ckanext-datajson installation issues

Mon Sep 29 12:58:48 UTC 2014

I've been trying to install ckanext-datajson using the the instructions
located at this site:

https://github.com/HHS/ckanext-datajson

There is a section where it says that there may be a dependency bug.  I
couldn't find a wsgi.py file with the line:

from paste.deploy import loadapp

So, I'm not sure if this applied to me or not.  However, when I restart
apache2, and I try to go to the ckan server, I get a server error.  When I
look at the logs, I get the following:

[Mon Sep 29 05:44:03 2014] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] mod_wsgi (pid=31295):

What am I doing wrong or what am I forgetting to do?

Thank you in advance.
