[ckan-dev] Configuration doesn't update

[Timothy Giles]

Hi Lucia,

I set this via the Site Tag Logo option on the Admin Config page. I believe the settings you are altering are being over written by the values in Admin – Config.

Regards Tim

Subject: [ckan-dev] Configuration doesn't update

Dear all

I wanted to change the logo of my ckan instance, the image is available and the ckan.site_logo property in the ini file is properly set.
Still, even if I restart CKAN, the image name is not being updated.  It also happens with other properties, for example site_desc.
Yesterday the virtual machine were migrated to a new environment, not sure if that can be an issue but this wasn't an issue before.

At the end I modified the database because it was urgent to get it done, but I would like to know what can be the issue so I can next time change it in a proper way.

Here is what I wrote in the config ini file:
## Front-End Settings
ckan.site_title = CKAN
ckan.site_logo = envidat-logo-banner.png
ckan.site_description = EnviDat
ckan.favicon = envidat-logo-icon.ico
And this is what i see when I start CKAN (I put some printouts to app_globals):
Starting server in PID 5841.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best,
Lucia
