Install the dashboard in OpenStack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) - icehouse

[Akash Chandrashekar]

Latest guide against Trunk Icehouse install @
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/install-guide/install/apt/content/install_dashboard.html

1. Missing the apache2 package it currently reads :

# apt-get install memcached libapache2-mod-wsgi openstack-dashboard

** Impact*** : Apache service is non-existent and cannot be started

and needs to be

#apt-get install apache2 memcached libapache2-mod-wsgi openstack-dashboard

2. Missing the python-mox package

Without the python-mox package /var/log/apache2/error_log reports mox package missing.

**Impact**: Horizon dashboard is unavailable

apt-get install python-mox fixes issue.

Thanks for testing the latest instructions.

I'm not sure if this is a doc bug or should be filed against the packages themselves? Anyone else have ideas for triaging?

I'll take a look at this issue. The horizon packages on Ubuntu were broken on my first pass for Icehouse installation guide updates.

[Matt Kassawara (ionosphere80)]

Tom,

I thought you were testing the dashboard. Can you update this bug?

Thanks,
Matt

Akash - can you confirm the problems still exists under 12.04 with the latest packages?

[Sergei Antipov (greendayonfire)]

14.04 not works.
1. Need to install apache: apt-get install apache2
2. Need to run the necessary modules and configs: a2enmod wsgi && a2enconf openstack-horizon
3. Restart apache: service apache2 restart
