dataset stuck in ckan which cannot be removed, cannot open (404)

I am removing all the datasets from CKAN and recreate them. However, there is one last dataset which I cannot delete. I am using the ckan API to do removal from python. I can search and get the dataset from both UI and command line, however, when I click on the link to the dataset in browser, it gives me 404 page. When I try to create the dataset with same name, it failed with name conflict. any clue? Thanks!

Solution

  • You should rebuild the search index. This is useful to prevent search indexes from getting out of sync with the main database. You should run:

    CKAN >= version 2.8:

    ckan -c /etc/ckan/default/ckan.ini search-index rebuild

    CKAN < 2.8:

    paster --plugin=ckan search-index rebuild -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini
