[ckan-dev] Fwd: Error uploading geojson files to datastore.

Tue Apr 21 09:18:29 UTC 2015

Its not possible to upload non-tabular data to the datastore. You may want to look at the MapStore (

Betreff: [ckan-dev] Fwd: Error uploading geojson files to datastore.

Hello,
I have installed a ckan instance and while the datastore works fine with other file formats,
when I try to upload a geojson file I get a 409 error, even when I use geojson files from other working ckan instances from the web.
For example for this geojson file:

{
  "type": "Feature",
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [125.6, 10.1]
  },
  "properties": {
    "name": "Dinagat Islands"
  }
}

after the file is uploaded to ckan, when it tries to upload it to the datastore I get the following error:

Error: CKAN DataStore bad response. Status code: 409 Conflict. At: http://localhost/api/3/action/datastore_create.
HTTP status code: 409
Response: {"help": "http://localhost/api/3/action/help_show?name=datastore_create", "success": false, "error": {"fields": ["\"{ \"type\": \"Feature\"\" is not a valid field name"], "__type": "Validation Error"}...
Requested URL: http://localhost/api/3/action/datastore_create

What can be wrong?
