Install the Image Service in OpenStack Installation Guide for Debian 7.0 (Wheezy) - icehouse

[Dennis Rasey]

Chapter 6. Configure the Image Service | Install the Image Service
Item # 3 references making the following changes:

<<<<
Edit /etc/glance/glance-api.conf and /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf and edit the [database] section of each file:

[database]
connection = mysql://glance:GLANCE_DBPASS@controller/glance
>>>>

On a freshly updated Sid install, debconf seems to pick different values.
The debconf values seems to work, where-as using the documented ones fail (also played around with 'controller' v 'localhost', but could only get things working using localhost, though the 'controller' resolves properly )

/etc/glance/glance-api.conf
connection = mysql://glance-common:<REDACTED>@localhost/glancedb
connection = mysql://glance:GLANCE_DBPASS@controller/glance

/etc/glance/glance-registry.conf
connection = mysql://glance-common:<REDACTED>@localhost/glancedb
connection = mysql://glance:GLANCE_DBPASS@controller/glance

The config files for glance have been updated just a few days before the Icehouse release, might be that Debian did not incorporate the change fully yet.

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what this bug is about. Could someone care to explain a bit more clearly?

[Gauvain Pocentek (gpocentek)]

If I understand correctly, the database configuration is done by debconf on debian, and the user shouldn't change the database/connection value. I think that we should exclude debian from this para in section_glance-install.xml.

Thomas, does this ok to you? Thanks!

[Thomas Goirand (thomas-goirand)]

Hi,

Indeed, it's automatic in Debian. I'll try to take care of it.

[Dennis Rasey (drasey-x)]

Folks,
Firstly, apologies for badly worded initial report.

Regarding removing Debian from this paragraph/section; would it make sense to just note this 'isn't needed' if using Debconf (I'm assuming NOT using Debconf might require some user intervention on Debian systems).

[Thomas Goirand (thomas-goirand)]

Hi,

It doesn't make sense to write about debconf and database setup at all, when there's a full chapter talking about just that. It just makes it harder for readers if it is still present.

    No manual db setup in Debian

    In Debian, there's no need to do manual configuration
    of the database settings, as this is handled by debconf.
    This patch removes the step for the Debian guide, and also
    removes the step where Glance daemons are restarted (also
    not needed in Debian).
