Heat documentation needs additional configuration on RHEL

[Anne Gentle]

Reported on ask.openstack.org

RHEL 6.5 - getting the same error in heat.log, over and over:

2014-06-11 09:03:53.064 27619 ERROR heat.openstack.common.rpc.impl_qpid [-] Unable to connect to AMQP server: [Errno -2] Name or service not known. Sleeping 60 seconds
The HEAT documentation is missing the following 2 lines:

# openstack-config --set /etc/heat/heat.conf database connection mysql://heat:<heat-dbpassword>t@<controller>/heat
# openstack-config --set /etc/heat/heat.conf DEFAULT qpid_hostname <controller>

Fix proposed to branch: stable/icehouse

Will this be fixed only for Icehouse? I think the assigned milestone should be changed.

    Additional configuration steps for HEAT on RHEL

    Added steps on configuring HEAT service to use
    Qpid as the messaging broker.

    Updated the editing steps to add keystone_authoken
    and ec2authtoken to use openstack-config to modify
    the heat.conf file as the other configuration
    editing in this section uses openstack-config.

Already fixed in Juno by a combination of replacing Qpid with RabbitMQ and the following patch:
