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

Wed Jun 8 14:52:23 UTC 2016

Hi Stefan

I am not sure its going to help to make *no* changes as
 the links to, for example, solr and postgres are not going to work 
(also in Dockers) if these settings are not provided.  By minimal, I 
meant just the ones appearing in the installation guide. AFAIK, I did 
not change anything about formatters.

I will send a copy of the file to your email.

Can you get it to work if you make *no* changes at all? Or what exactly are your "minimum" changes?Somehow there is a problem with the file and it's hard to tell without access to the whole file.

Thanks Stefan

I am using the default production.ini file supplied with the software and attempting to make the "minimum"  changes to it, in order for CKAN to work.

The sections you asked about are:

[app:main]
use = egg:ckan
full_stack = true
cache_dir = /tmp/%(ckan.site_id)s/
beaker.session.key = ckan

[formatters]
keys = generic

I cannot see any reference to "formatters" in the http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/configuration.html#ckan-configuration-file document?

Thanks
Derek

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

I have CKAN installed in a container.

When trying to reach the CKAN webpage, I am getting this error in the ckan_default.error.log::
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/etc/ckan/default/apache.wsgi", line 9, in <module>
     fileConfig(config_filepath)
   File "/usr/lib/ckan/default/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paste/script/util/logging_config.py", line 93, in fileConfig
     formatters = _create_formatters(cp)
   File "/usr/lib/ckan/default/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paste/script/util/logging_config.py", line 125, in _create_formatters
     flist = cp.get("formatters", "keys")
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ConfigParser.py", line 330, in get
     raise NoSectionError(section)
 NoSectionError: No section: 'formatters'

The ckan.docs website says this is a common error::

    NoSectionError: No section: 'formatters'

    This suggests that the config file specified with the paster --config 
    parameter (e.g. myconfig.ini) is incorrectly formatted. This may be true, 
    but this error is also printed if you specify an incorrect filename for 
    the config file!

I checked in the section of code where the error is raised.  It seems as if the file it is looking for is stored in the 'fname' variable.  Echoing the contents of this variable shows its value to be `/etc/ckan/default/production.ini` (which is what I would expect).  This implies the file itself is incorrectly formatted.  How do I go about finding what is incorrect about the formatting & then fixing it?

Thanks
Derek
