Answer 1

The error suggests it cannot find the who.config_file bit of your CKAN config file (eg std.ini):

 [app:main]
 ...
 who.config_file = %(here)s/who.ini

However this is the first point in the code which accesses this config file, so it suggests the something more fundamental is up with the config file.

Check your wsgi script file contains the correct path to your config file. The line looks like this:

config_file = '/usr/local/demo.ckan.net/pyenv/src/ckan/development.ini'
