Icehouse documentation: A key step is missing for centos under "Install the Image Service" page

[Nishant Kumar]

Page URL were bug found: http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/yum/content/glance-install.html

The following is missing in icehouse documentation under "Install the Image Service". Without this, the openstack-glance-api and openstack-glance-registry services fail to start (I tested on centos6.5).

"
Add the credentials to the /etc/glance/glance-api-paste.ini and /etc/glance/glance-registry-paste.ini files.
On CentOS, you may need to copy these files to the correct location.
# cp /usr/share/glance/glance-api-dist-paste.ini /etc/glance/glance-api-paste.ini
# cp /usr/share/glance/glance-registry-dist-paste.ini /etc/glance/glance-registry-paste.ini

Edit each file to set the following options in the [filter:authtoken] section and leave any other existing option as it is.
[filter:authtoken]
paste.filter_factory=keystoneclient.middleware.auth_token:filter_factory
auth_host=controller
admin_user=glance
admin_tenant_name=service
admin_password=GLANCE_PASS

Hi Nishant,

Thank you very much for your report. We rely on reports such as yours to improve the documentation.

In this case, it looks like the Centos packaging has had a regression. At the time Icehouse was released, these kind of steps were done by the packaging.

By any chance, have you reported this bug to centos yet? If not, we should probably do this.

In any case, thank you very much for the heads up - and apologies for the experience!

Hi Tom,

I have not reported it to Centos. I hope you will report on my behalf as you will be able to articulate the issue better. My only concern is that anyone following the openstack documentation on centos would see this issue.
