CENTOS 6.5 : starting keystone service

[reachparagm]

While starting keystone service on CENTOS 6.5 x86_64 system. The service bails outs saying

service openstack-keystone restart
Stopping keystone: [FAILED]
Starting keystone: /usr/bin/python: No module named keystone.openstack.common
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                                           [FAILED]

I have all rpms installed

# rpm -qa | grep openstack
openstack-selinux-0.1.3-2.el6ost.noarch
openstack-keystone-2014.1.1-1.el6.noarch
openstack-utils-2014.1-3.el6.noarch

# rpm -qa | grep keystone
python-keystoneclient-0.9.0-1.el6.noarch
python-keystone-2014.1.1-1.el6.noarch
openstack-keystone-2014.1.1-1.el6.noarch

I also performed an upgrade via
# pip install --upgrade python-keystoneclient , which added "python_keystoneclient-0.10.1.dist-info" in site-packages.

Looks like an import error, are you able to provide a little more information in a stack trace possibly that could help narrow this down?

The logs (/var/log/keystone.log depending on your deployment) will have more information if you enabled debug=True and verbose=True.

I happened to install new Python 2.7.6 on my centos 6.5 to find that the yum install openstack-keystone, python-keystone and python-keystoneclient still refers to the old argparse

The start of service says -

# service openstack-keystone restart
Stopping keystone: [FAILED]

Do not know what is happening behind.

later on tried to pip2.6 install argparse, the keystone fails to start with following in /var/log/keystone/keystone.log
2014-08-19 02:00:45.668 3914 CRITICAL keystone [-] ConfigFileNotFound: An unexpected error prevented the server from fulfilling your request.

The config file looks good for admin_token and database section. All other sections are empty.

This looks like it was a packaging issue. If it's still a problem, I'd suggest filing it against centos / RDO.
