Docs-compute: euca-authorize FAILURE

[Alexey Eromenko]

Platform: Debian wheezy/testing + nova-2012.1~e3-4

Official docs say:
(Chapter: Enabling Access to VMs on the Compute Node)

euca-authorize -P icmp -t -1:-1 default
euca-authorize -P tcp -p 22 default

(docs from Diablo, please publish Essex docs PDF)

Since the docs did not state whenever this step depends on previous
Chapter "Creating Credentials", I assume it is not.

But it fails:

root@nova-server2:~# euca-authorize -P icmp -t -1:-1 default
EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable must be set.
Connection failed
root@nova-server2:~# euca-authorize -P tcp -p 22 default
EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable must be set.
Connection failed

It happened, after the previous command failed:

mkdir –p /root/creds
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/nova-manage project zipfile $NOVA_PROJECT
$NOVA_PROJECT_USER /root/creds/novacreds.zip

... I'm not sure if the two are related or not.
