Doc page at http://docs.ckan.org/en/tracking-fixes/tracking.html

Edit the file /etc/ckan/default/production.ini and add the line

ckan.tracking_enabled = true

Then create a script tracker_update.sh like this:

#!/bin/bash

. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

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

You can use this file directly to run the index rebuilding, or use it in cron to make it run periodically.

As user root use

crontab -e -u ckan

or as user ckan:

crontab -e

and add the line:

0 * * * * /usr/lib/ckan/tracker_update.sh >>/var/log/ckan/tracker.log 2>&1
