service glance-registry start produces spawning child processes

If you start glance-registry with the 'workers' config set to 0, what do the logs report?

In my experience I found this to be related to a misconfiguration of some sort, like an error in a pipeline or an error in keystone keystone_authtoken (if you're using Keystone).

As Brian suggested, if you switch to workers=0 you should see the service die instead of being stuck in a loop. Then troubleshooting becomes easier.

I think there's definitely grounds for a bug regarding usability. Glance shouldn't just spinning wheel, but detect the right error and die gracefully.

I tried changing the number of workers=0 but the process still seems to be spawning ..

Suraj - setting workers=0 in the correct config file should prevent any child processes from being created. Make sure you set that value in the correct config file.

As several bugs related to this have been fixed, I'm going to close this as Invalid.
