Comment 2 for bug 925278

G'day all

I located the cause (thanks to Vish's pointer in the right direction, that this was api paste related).

Turns out that the single line:
  /services/Admin: ec2admin

That was removed from the [composite:ec2] stanza within Nova's api-paste.ini file during commit 638ea66969 caused nova-api to not run per the initial bug report below.

The fix was to simply remove the "/services/Admin: ec2admin" line and restart the nova-api service, voila - Nova is running again :-)

I hope this information helps others.

Cheers

Paul

Looks like the ppa paste config needs to be updated. I guess it is shipping its own?

  Hi all

  I have been running without issue using PPA application of nova trunk code (installed ~4 days ago), per:
  # add-apt-repository ppa:nova-core/trunk

  But since an update applied ~20hours ago, despite severl updates from
  PPA, I have not been able to NOT get the below issue which is
  reproducable 100% per:

  root@server:~# service nova-api start
  nova-api start/running, process 27370

  root@server:~# cat /var/log/nova/nova-api.log
  .
