Launch an instance on the provider network in openstackinstallguide

[AYMAN EL KHATTABI]

I'm following the Installation guide on a CentOS 7.

everthing worked like a charm until i run the following command :

[root@controller ~]# openstack server list
Unexpected API Error. Please report this at http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/ and attach the Nova API log if possible.
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'> (HTTP 500) (Request-ID: req-2baf0a94-b6cf-4868-8170-e52e5b2ae3f2)

the last command that worked was :
[root@controller ~]# openstack server create --flavor m1.nano --image 764249e3-5396-4c5d-ad46-2329ec7ab80d --nic net-id=944e66da-fd67-4931-a38f-31d0e8bb7e02 --security-group default --key-name mykey provider-instance

Can you try again running the commands as a normal user, per the install guide?

E.g. https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/launch-instance-provider.html
