/etc/apache2/conf.d/dashboard.conf contains wrong paths in the Ubuntu package

Hi there,

I installed the openstack-dashboard package, version 2012.1~rc1-0ubuntu1. I noticed that /etc/apache2/conf.d/dashboard.conf in that package contains a wrong path to the location of the dashboard files in the filesystem. This is the original file:

=>
WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi

<Directory /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/dashboard/wsgi>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>
<=

The problem in there is the Directory directive.

I changed the file to look like this, based on numerous guides I found on the web:

=>
WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi
WSGIDaemonProcess horizon user=www-data group=www-data processes=3 threads=10

Alias /static /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static

<Directory /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi>
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>
<=

I don't know whether the other lines are of interest for you as well, but with that configuration, the Dashboard works just fine.

Best regards
Martin
