Comment 2 for bug 988748

i have the same problem on a test install.
When changing /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py so i have debug, this is the kind of error i have:

[Fri Jul 20 10:04:28 2012] [error] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/horizon/forms/base.py", line 99, in maybe_handle

[Fri Jul 20 10:04:28 2012] [error] ServiceCatalogException: Invalid service catalog service: s3

I do not have swift installed, but my "manager node" runs nova-storage with some s3 thingy.
Excerpt from my nova.conf:
--s3_host=192.168.122.4
--s3_port=3333

Looks like horizon is not able to get the value of s3_url ( api.url_for(request, 's3')).

As a workaround, if i change
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/horizon/dashboards/settings/juju/forms.py so i hard code the s3 url in the code, it "works":

I do not know exactly how horizon is getting service catalog entry, but it looks like there s one missing on mine.

This is what keystone service-list tells:

now, i have a swift endpoint (that i defined in case i would install it) but no swift is installed.
