Answer 1

I had the same error and a slightly different solution:

1. got the error only after using sudo, so I went out of it (sudo -k)
2. then I got the following error: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/ckan/default/development.ini'
3. after digging around a lot, I finally found out that while the /etc/ckan had correct permissions, it was actually a symlink to ~/ckan/etc and that folder did not have correct permissions
4. I ran sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/ckan/etc and followed up with paster make-config ckan /etc/ckan/default/development.ini
