Failed to parse /etc/keystone/keystone.conf

[Josep Blanch]

I am reinstalling grizzly, so I have removed openstack, mariadb and qpid packages, and them I have launched the grizzly installation with

openstack-packstack 2013.1.1-0.28.dev677.fc19,

During the installation, I get the following error:

ERROR : Error during puppet run : Notice: /Stage[main]/Keystone/Exec[keystone-manage db_sync]/returns: oslo.config.cfg.ConfigFileParseError: Failed to parse /etc/keystone/keystone.conf: at /etc/keystone/keystone.conf:2, Section must be started before assignment: None
Please check log file /var/tmp/packstack/20131113-115808-VTGgls/openstack-setup.log for more information

Note: I have not installed the corresponding puppet modules:

packstack-modules-puppet.noarch 2013.1.1-0.28.dev677.fc19

So I guess it downloads puppet sripts from the repository

It looks very much like a fault in the puppet scripts

Best regards

This error is related to the instal.lation of openstack grizzly on fedora 19

Whith packstack version, 2013.1.1-0.20.dev642.fc19 it also appears the same error

Installing openstack with this very packstack version, on July 12th 2013, on the same computer, did work fine

[Josep Blanch (blanch)]

Same error when using latest packstack:

Openstack-packstack-2013.1.1-0.33.dev705.noarch.fc19

having installed puppet modules local repository

packstack-modules-puppet-2013.1.1-0.33.dev705.noarch.fc19

The problem seems to be in openstack-keystone rpm.
The /etc/keystone/keystone.conf have two [DEFAULT] section, which make puppet fails. One workaround is install manually openstack-keystone package, edit the keystone.conf and remove one [DEFAULT] section. This works to me.

Hi Arx Cruz,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Yes, there seems to be some problem with openstack-keystone rpm. We do not have two [DEFAULT] section in our keystone conf file so we are still facing the same issue.

Our Environment : Fedora 19 + Grizzly + packstack (all in one node)

Is it something related to SELinux mode ?

Earlier the mode was enforcing, so we have changed it to "Permissive". Still facing the same issue

[root@localhost ~]# getenforce
Permissive

Thanks.

As I mention, the packstack --answer-file=yourfile will install the openstack-keystone, which have two [DEFAULT] lines.
If you manually install openstack-keystone and then edit the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf and remove one of the [DEFAULT] line and reran packstack, you will not see this error anymore.
Packstack will call yum -y install openstack-keystone, which will be already installed, so it will not overwrite your change in /etc/keystone/keystone.conf.

[Josep Blanch (blanch)]

Arx workarround, did solve my problem

If your Keystone.conf file does not have two [DEFAULT] lines at the beginning, try the following:

-Remove all openstack packages, except packstack
-Delete openstack databases from mysql
- Install keystone with yum
-Then, Keystone.conf should have two [DEFAULT] lines at the beginning

Follow Arx suggestion

It has worked for me in a repeteable manner, up to last monday December 2nd

This is actually a problem in the crudini package, which is used by the openstack-config utility. The openstack-keystone spec file uses openstack-config to create the default config that is installed as a part of the RPM. It seems that this issue only occurs on Fedora 19.

The openstack-keystone package will be updated to avoid usage of openstack-config. This is being handled in this bug (which also contains more technical details on the problem):

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057621

A fix has also been proposed for crudini to make it more tolerant of an empty DEFAULT section.

[Martin Mágr (mmagr)]

Josep is right, that's the problem in openstack-keystone package. With mangling with the config in SPEC file [DEFAULT] section get's duplicated, which is actually a problem for Puppet. Not much can be done on Packstack side.
