[ckan-discuss] Datapusher error on file upload

Fri Dec 27 10:22:06 UTC 2013

David,

Thanks so much for the guidance and detailed explanation. After completing ckan.site_url (it was empty), datapusher working properly and resources can be previewed ok.

Kind regards,
  Eli

 Hello

 I think I know the issue here now.

 You need to make sure the correct ckan.site_url is specified
 your CKAN
 config.  The site url has to be accessible to the
 datapusher.

 If this is mis-configured the datapusher tries to send back
 and error
 and the sending of that error is failing.  This is a
 bug, but it only
 arises once the datapusher can not connect to CKAN.

 don't think it is file specific, because I have tried
 uploading other files too (both csv and xls) with the same
 result. On demo.ckan.org though, the same file can be
 uploaded correctly.
