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

[Derek Hohls]

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
