Bug Description

Text:

Configure the location of the database. Replace NOVA_DBPASS with your Compute service password:

Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf file and add these lines to the [database] and [keystone_authtoken] sections:

I am noticing the first section implies there is an example under it but there's nothing showing. It looks like the example for the first line is actually under the second line.

Step 2 needs clarification... probably a side-effect of related fixes.

    Addressed underlying issues associated with misplaced colon

    Upon further investigation, the 'NOVA_DBPASS' reference in the
    sentence including the misplaced colon should reside with the database
    creation step now located further into this section. The best
    solution probably involves opening another bug to clarify this
    section by reordering several steps. For example, database creation
    seems like a prerequisite for configuring the 'connection' key in
    nova.conf. Additionally, at least in the Ubuntu guide, configuring
    the keys under [keystone_authtoken] in nova.conf should reside with
    the step configuring Compute to use the Identity Service.

    In the meantime, unless suggested otherwise, I changed the minimal
    number of items to remove the misplaced colon and improve clarity
    using the existing sequence of steps.
