[ckan-dev] CKAN "No section: 'formatters'" error

Thu Jun 2 19:37:31 UTC 2016

Check the sections in your config file (/etc/ckan/default/production.ini).
Is there a [app:main] section? Is there a [formatters] section?
Did you generate the config file? If so how? Or what is your template?

You can read more about the config file and its structure here:
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/configuration.html#ckan-configuration-file

If nothing helps, you can try to re-generate the configuration using the
following paster command:

paster make-config ckan /etc/ckan/default/new-production.ini
