Right after installation, /var/log/apache2/error.log contains a stacktrace "FATAL: password authentication failed for user "maas"

[Raphaël Badin]

Here is the full stacktrace from /var/log/apache2/error.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7422017/.

The MAAS server is functional but this is still a crash.

[Julian Edwards (julian-edwards)]

I am assigning this to packaging. It is restarting Apache before the PG user has been set up.

[Gavin Panella (allenap)]

Observed again today. It results in 100s of lines of errors and
stack-traces in Apache's error.log. It would be good to fix this in
packaging, but we can also help in MAAS itself, by retrying in
start_up.py every second or two, and handling the exception ourselves.

A recent example of the error, running on Trusty, using packages from
trunk r3243:

mod_wsgi (pid=28482): Target WSGI script '/usr/share/maas/wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.
