[ckan-dev] Home/landing page

Wed Mar 27 08:06:55 UTC 2019

Hello,

I'm not sure what's the official way to do it, but in our environment the way to run CKAN in debug mode is to do it locally, on the server. So, I do it as follows:

1.      Log on the server (remote desktop or Putty or whatever way you do it).

2.      Stop Apache:

apachectl stop

3.      Change parameters in the production.ini (or development.ini, if you use that) to something like:

debug = true
...
ckan.site_url = http://127.0.0.1:5000

4.      Start locally with paster:

. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckan
paster serve /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

After this, the site can viewed locally on the server, opening a browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.

When you want to return "online", do the opposite (first killing the paster process).

Again, I'm not sure if this is the normal way to do it, especially as our CKAN version is a bit of a mix. In this case I hope someone else on the list can provide the correct way. I would be interested to hear it as well...

Hope this helps,
Sam

Hi,

I changed to false and the home page fails to load.

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at root at localhost to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Previous CKAN person has made a new theme for site and it appears that debug does not work with the theme??

Hmm any suggestions.

Jud

Hello,

Not much more than a novice myself, I found it useful to run CKAN indebug-mode (https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.8/maintaining/configuration.html?highlight=debug#debug) to see what templates are used in each view. See more in Customizing CKAN's templates (https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.8/theming/templates.html).

Also, the description of CKAN code architecture can help: https://docs.ckan.org/en/2.8/contributing/architecture.html

Regards,
Sam

Totally novice to CKAN.
