Hum. If I comment out Line 348 of settings.py it seems to work:

INSTALLED_APPS += ('geonode.contrib.ows_api',)

Does this mean a personalized ows_api must be set somewhere? Pardon my ignorance, but I find no reference in the documentation...

Nevermind. It seems I did not follow instructions to the letter. Namely the portion: "Revert to default site settings. You need to revert some customizations of the my_geonode local_settings"

I have this issue when installing geonode 2.8.0 followed by creating a geonode-project from the template.

Commenting out Line 348 of settings.py fixes it, as Roburetto suggests.

I'm not sure what the ows_api contrib app actually does, but generally we shouldn't have contrib apps turned on by default? Maybe someone who knows what it does can tell us if we should have it on or off in this repo?

Thanks!
