The nova install procdure from the Openstack Install and Deploy Manual does not seem to work for Ubuntu 12.04:
The install and deploy manual (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/content/installing-the-cloud-controller.html) shows the following install options:
sudo apt-get install rabbitmq-server
sudo apt-get install nova-compute nova-volume nova-vncproxy nova-api nova-ajax-console-proxy nova-cert nova-consoleauth nova-doc nova-scheduler nova-network
- nova-api would not start for any nova.conf.
The Compute Starter Guide (http://docs.openstack.org/essex/openstack-compute/starter/content/Nova-d1a736.html)
installs different nova componets:
sudo apt-get install nova-api nova-cert nova-compute nova-compute-kvm nova-doc nova-network nova-objectstore nova-scheduler nova-volume rabbitmq-server novnc nova-consoleauth
- On Ubuntu 12.04, all the nova modules with the example nova.conf started OK.
Thanks for reporting. As far as I know, nova-object store is not needed, and I'll have to investigate nova-compute-kvm usage. There are a lot of differences so it's possible that just this list is not the reason for nova-api not starting. Probably if you didn't install either rabbitmq or qpid your messaging queue isn't working so nova-api won't start.
The install and deploy manual has you install rabbitmq-server on this page: http://
We're working towards having the install/deploy guide cover more distros so the modularity and order is different from the Ubuntu-only guide.
