Swift testing fails in opencompute starter guide

[Sebastien]

After executing installation steps of the starter guide down to "testing swift" http://docs.openstack.org/essex/openstack-compute/starter/content/Testing_Swift-d2s762.html it seems to have a configuration issue with swift and/or the proxy-server component.

In the webpage comments, at least 6 people (including myself) reported having zero containers or zero objects listed when running the command "swift -v -V 2.0 -A http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/ -U service:swift -K swift stat", while one is expected.

It's also impossible to create containers through the Dashboard.

If it can help, I'm available to conduct guided investigations next week (Monday and Tuesday at GMT+2) on the infrastructure I'm using to deploy OpenStack.

Hi Tom, Thanks for logging. I'm moving this bug to the openstackbook project, where the source resides, and I've talked to Atul Jha, who is going to check with the owner of this content.

Hi Atul - here's a good description of the doc bug I mentioned related to Swift configuration.
