/etc/nova/nova.conf missing section: [database]

[R Kendal]

the docs tell you to add the 'connection=...' line after the [database] section within /etc/nova/nova.conf

i then created and ran the bash script as follows:
OLD="^#connection=mysql.*"
NEW="connection = mysql://nova:$NOVA_DBPASS@controller/nova"
sed -i "/^\[database\]/,/^\[/{ s~$OLD~$NEW~ }" /etc/nova/nova.conf

unlike some of the other openstack config files that require a '[database]' section,
unbeknownst to me, there was no '[database]' section in /etc/nova/nova.conf so my script did nothing

i later kept getting the following error:
"Access denied for user 'nova'@'localhost' (using password: YES)") None None

googling I found many people faced the same error, but nothing lead me to this issue.

i recommend adding a '[database]' section to /etc/nova/nova.conf

which version are you using?
with the latest automatically generated configuration file etc/nova/nova.conf.sample
I see [database] section ...

is it because the install tool or others? if so, the bug should open to them instead of nova itself

[R Kendal (r-kendal)]

hi,

i am using fedora 21

yum -y install
http://rdo.fedorapeople.org/openstack-juno/rdo-release-juno.rpm

seems you are using juno version code
looks to me the commit add the support

commit ba407e33d3fedd2d283ba8752ff592fb3e0e2d43
Author: Dheeraj Gupta <email address hidden>
Date: Tue Jan 27 11:55:55 2015 +0000

    Add support for multiple database engines

and we got following at nova.conf.sample
2042 [database]
2043
2044 #
2045 # Options defined in nova.db.sqlalchemy.api

do you have chance to take a look at latest rpms ? I am not sure whether backport this to juno will be accepted or not...

[R Kendal (r-kendal)]

 i made accounts for the issue, so for me, backporting is not necessary

i just never wanted the issue to confuse others going forward

btw: i thought juno was the latest!

thanks for the prompt help

ok, my fault, the latest point to 'master' branch code which is not RPM related ...

so let's keep this open in case someone else has more input when Kilo RPM can be used , thanks

[R Kendal (r-kendal)]

Hi,

I could be wrong about this, but this is what i observed per the Juno
docs...

default_store=file # the docs indicate this should go under
'glance_store', but I got: Error in store configuration. Adding images to
store is disabled. it seems to belong in the DEFAULT section

cheers!
