I set up the local file storage according to these steps
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/filestore.html
Create location
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/ckan/default
I confirm the location exists and is in the right location
I uncomment the lines
ofs.impl = pairtree
ofs.storage_dir = /var/lib/ckan/default
I confirmed I have pairtree and argparse installed
I am using jetty as the web server not Apache so I do
sudo chown jetty /var/lib/ckan/default
sudo chmod u+rwx /var/lib/ckan/default
sudo service jetty restart
Then I run this command to start my site
paster serve /etc/ckan/default/development.ini
I then get this stack trace back, I am doing all of these commands inside my virtual environment

ofs.storage_path
