[dashboard] Website fails with 500 due to permission issue with lock file

[Lance Albertson]

On a fresh deploy, I'm running into a 500 error when accessing the dashboard website using stable/kilo. The apache log has the following included:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/_usr_share_openstack-dashboard_openstack_dashboard_local_.secret_key_store.lock'

The file has the following permissions:

-rwxr--r--. 1 root apache 0 Sep 15 00:34 _usr_share_openstack-dashboard_openstack_dashboard_local_.secret_key_store.lock

If I change it to 774 the problem goes away. Not sure what's causing this.

I cannot replicate this. on a aio-neutron install in vagrant ( Ubuntu 1404 ) from the stable/kilo branch I can browse to and use the horizon dashboard without any issues.

Also The file in question shows up as `-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64 Oct 23 08:36 /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/.secret_key_store` for me.

Was there a specific action you performed that caused the error ? I can definately see that apache would error if it was asked to modify the file.

Reading more docs etc ... I think the file I'm actually looking for is located at

```ls -alh /var/lib/openstack-dashboard/_var_lib_openstack-dashboard_secret_key.lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 horizon horizon 0 Feb 7 16:06 /var/lib/openstack-dashboard/_var_lib_openstack-dashboard_secret_key.lock
```

which appears to be owned by the correct user ( horizon ).

I got this same error on CentOS 7, I had to change the ownership to the apache user to get it to work.
