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

Thu Jun 9 09:04:48 UTC 2016

Hi Derek,

the file looks fine. So I guess it must be the path to the file and/or
missing permissions to read the file. Can you successfully run paster
commands? Does the page work if you use "paster serve"? Are you using
Apache with WSGI, if so check the apache.wsgi file, if it uses to correct
path to the config file.
