I want to upgrade CKAN to it's newest version. Before I upgrade the packages, I want to backup everything. I'm using the following as my reference. http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.4.3/upgrade.html.

Another dev installed CKAN, who is no longer with the team. CKAN is up and running, I'm just trying to upgrade the software to a newer version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below is the error I'm getting when executing the paster command (either myself or root).

paster --plugin=ckan db dump demo_ckan_backup.pg_dump --config=demo.ckan.net.ini

Error message

  • Have you activate [virtualenv](http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/installing/install-from-source.html#install-ckan-into-a-python-virtual-environment)? – Almalerik Mar 22 '16 at 08:06

You can try to move to:

/usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckan

And then try it again.
