I'm installing a instance of CartoDB in AWS/Ubuntu 12.04, and I'm having a hard time trying to georeference a column with textual addresses.

I know that the data I'm trying to georeference is ok since I uploaded it in an online CartoDB account and it's working there, so it must be a local problem. I've tried with different CartoDB versions, and I get different errors:

  • v2.9.3 to v2.10.1 -> I upload the file, table is created, then I select 'georeference' in the proper column and seems that the job is processed by resque (progress bar appears in UI), two columns are added (the geom (all values as null) and cartodb_georef_status (all values as false)), but they are not updated later with proper values.

Checking the log, I can see this:
