Bug Description

In Essex, a security group with a description of "ports 22 & 80" causes instances to become unreachable with SSH (PuTTY). The security group used specifically opens port 22. Deleting the security group and recreating it with a description of "ports 22 AND 80" fixed the problem.

This sounds like an entirely nova-related issue, so I'm going to detach the glance aspect.

Interestingly, this issue does not manifest on trunk.

I have not been able to reproduce this issue on Essex.

Can you provide the exact sequence of commands you used to create the security group rules and boot the problematic instance?

Also can you provide nova logs excerpts?

I suspect the recent security group fixes took care of this. Please reopen if you can reproduce on trunk.
