Bug Description

Hi,

I have successfully installed keystone and glance (Folsom)
I have installed nova, and when executing the command "nova-manage db sync" it is displaying the following output

root@Controller:~# nova-manage db sync
2012-11-06 11:28:00 DEBUG nova.utils [-] backend <module 'nova.db.sqlalchemy.migration' from '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/db/sqlalchemy/migration.pyc'> from (pid=8934) __get_backend /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/utils.py:658

==> /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log <==

Before executing "nova-manage db sync" I have made sure that I have created the database nova in mysql database

Narsing

You welcome.

I figured out my issue was related to a mistake in the configuration file nova.conf.

The configuration file I used was copied from the documentation appendix. Around line 13, the line "[keystone_authtoken]" seems to cause all the other flags to be unavailable to nova. I commented it and was then able to synchronize the correct database (MySQL). I do not know if that line "[keystone_authtoken]", which is a section header in INI syntax, is required by nova to authenticate itself to keystone, but at least so far, that fixed my issue with the database.

Maybe should the documentation example fixed about that?

Hope this helps,
Dimitri
