stack.sh fails to bring openstack up exits stating /home/administrator/.my.cnf: Permission denied

[Sriram Kannan]

I am trying to bring devstack OCATA up using ./stack after a reboot of the machine. The script fails with the below error

2017-04-02 08:11:12.237 | +functions-common:is_ubuntu:466 [[ -z deb ]]
2017-04-02 08:11:12.242 | +functions-common:is_ubuntu:469 '[' deb = deb ']'

Please suggest on how to resolve or overcome from this problem

Thanks

 /home/administrator/.my.cnf: Permission denied

is the root cause. it seems like you can't write .my.cnf to your home directory. i suspect you might have switched users or something

Hi Ian,

You are correct, in-fact this file was not present in the directory (/home/administrator/). When i searched the file, i found the file to be in /opt/stack/.

I was in stack user ( sudo -su stack) when executing the ./stack.sh, At the 1st time i executed from the same location with the same user(stack) and the devstack came up well. This issue is observed after the reboot.

Now I copied the .my.cnf file from /opt/stack to /home/administrator and executed the script. The script works fine and i can get the devstack up

Thanks for the pointer

Regards
Sriram
