Comment 3 for bug 1683104

wiston, while your solution may be working for you, it has some issues:

* running /usr/bin/nova-placement-api directory is for testing purposes only, the placement API expects to be run under apache, using mod-wsgi, otherwise performance may be limited

* the reason things aren't working for you is that the apache configuration for the placement service has some issues in the respective packages that install it, resulting in a deployment that cannot work without some tweaks to the apache configuration

What those tweaks are depends on whether you are using Ubuntu or RDO packages and what is currently in your apache configuration.
