Setting up Trove: Missing Configuration Option for Taskmanager prevents it from starting

[Benjamin Lipp]

When trying to start Trove taskmanager, it crashes with the error message
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rpartition'.

When I added
taskmanager_manager = trove.taskmanager.manager.Manager
to trove-taskmanager.conf, Trove taskmanager starts without failing.
I found this in Devstack's code for the setup of Trove (http://devstack.org/lib/trove.html)

Thus, I suggest adding this to the documentation. Or maybe this could even go into the standard configuration if it's not already there.

For the sake of completeness: I originally posted this as a question on https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/45095/trove-taskmanager-critical-root-nonetype-object-has-no-attribute-rpartition/

    Adds taskmanager_manager = trove.taskmanager.manager.Manager

    - User reports this is needed for apt-based installs; so adding it to all
    even if distro has this correct

As of Kilo (14.04 using Ubuntu Cloud Archives) this directive now needs to be added to trove.conf
