[ckan-dev] How to configure CKAN under a non-root path

Fri Feb 5 13:55:39 UTC 2016

Hi Steven,

Sorry for the late response. Thanks very much for your help and efforts
from your team.
We have reached the same conclusion and we have "hacked" the
_add_i18n_to_url function in helpers.py (we also wonder if there is any
more elegant solution but we guess there is not).

Kind regards,
Luis
