I have get the ERROR too....

[Sean M. Collins (scollins)]

Hi,

I am experiencing this issue as well, but the cause is different. It appears that DevStack has not been updated to handle nova commit 584b2fb4b0a1968699f8d2dd4b0a2af67e7dca8c - which removes the /bin directory.

[Peeyush Gupta (peeygupt)]

I am having the same issue. Did anyone find any fix yet?

[pankaj (pankaj-rawat)]

Experienced the same problem in installing devstack.
I am able to solve the problem. The problem is in the package dependency for nova-api

following error comes when i execute ./stack.sh
http://paste.openstack.org/show/39239/

After analyzing the log i executed /usr/bin/nova-api
http://paste.openstack.org/show/39240/

>> ImportError: No module named cliff.formatters
As you can see it is an import error for cliff module

 Its an development environment issue.
yum install python-cliff or pip install cliff will resolve the issue.
