Error 403 with Ckan 2.6.2 - Datapush

I have, in order to process some big data, to set up ckan on a local machine. I've set up the whole system following this guide : http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/installing/install-from-source.html

I wanted to display a preview of a locally loaded file, so the user can actually see it before downloading it. And it doesn't work, because it only works for online files. For instance, it DOES work with this online file but NOT with my own file I upload.

So, I've been interested about Datastore and Datapusher. I've followed every part of the guide, and it appears on my ckan. However, I have an error. Specifically this one :

Upload error: An Error occurred while sending the job: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: http://127.0.0.1:8800/job

Here's my most important parts about my production.ini file (copying the whole would be very long) :

ckan.site_url = http://localhost

ckan.plugins = datastore datapusher stats text_view image_view
recline_view recline_graph_view recline_map_view webpage_view

ckan.datapusher.formats = csv xls xlsx tsv application/csv
application/vnd.ms-excel
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet

ckan.datapusher.url = http://127.0.0.1:8800/

I truly have no idea about what my problem could be, I tried to change the datapusher.url to 0.0.0.0 as the guide suggested, but it doesn't work either.

If the data to be added to CKAN is in a file on your computer, select “Upload a file” option. CKAN will give you a file browser to select it. You should use link to a file option just for publicly available resources.

Have you installed datapusher also? Its a separate process running on port 8800. CKAN uses datastore to be able to have a grid view of tabular data. Data needs to be pushed through datapusher to be used by datastore.

Yes, you need to set up the Datapusher.It's not activated by default.

Pull the datapusher code, install the dependencies and run it using: python datapusher/main.py deployment/settings.py

The instructions to configure the settings are on the repository.

Here's the datapusher manual: http://docs.ckan.org/projects/datapusher/en/latest/ Here's the repository: https://github.com/ckan/datapusher

Had the exact same error message. This post solved my issue though.

short: insert/check the following in your virtualhost in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/datapusher.conf

<Directory /etc/ckan>
   Options All
   AllowOverride All
   Require all granted
</Directory>
