Ubuntu 12.04 nova-api fails to start and no error logging

Question 11/5/2012

Nova-api is not starting on Ubuntu 12.04 or logging errors?

I have been working my way through the Openstack Install and Deploy Manual (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/content/) on a fresh install (10/05/2012) of Ubuntu 12.04, my 3rd or 4th attempt.

$ lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise

$ uname -a
Linux PoC5 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have setup endpoint for the services as using the %(tenant-id) method, e.g.

$ keystone --token 012345SECRET99TOKEN012345 --endpoint http://192.168.206.130:35357/v2.0/ service-create --name=nova --type=compute --description="Nova Compute Service"

| name | nova |
| type | compute |

$ keystone --token 012345SECRET99TOKEN012345 --endpoint http://192.168.206.130:35357/v2.0/ endpoint-create --region RegionOne --service_id=e592904ff83147d18b823eecae62aaaa --publicurl='http://192.168.206.130:8774/v2/%(tenant_id)s' --internalurl='http://192.168.206.130:8774/v2/%(tenant_id)s' --adminurl='http://192.168.206.130:8774/v2/%(tenant_id)s'
+-------------+---------------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+-------------+---------------------------------------------+
| adminurl | http://192.168.206.130:8774/v2/%(tenant_id)s |
| id | 7d7d93cde2de4849814f4042197bc2aa |

| region | RegionOne |
| service_id | e592904ff83147d18b823eecae62aaaa |
+-------------+---------------------------------------------+

I can list the tenant id and endpoints for the service as follows:

$ keystone --token 012345SECRET99TOKEN012345 --endpoint http://192.168.206.130:35357/v2.0 tenant-list
+----------------------------------+---------------+---------+

For both the service and openstackDemo tenants, the teant ids matche the url endpoints.

Using the api-paste.ini from the manual (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/content/api-paste-ini-file.html) and the following nova.conf:

The nova-api will not start and no info is logged in /var/log/nova/ log files.

Has anyone else seen this?

Is there something fundamentally wrong with how I configured keystone or nova?

Are the ubuntu 12.04 repositories up to date for the openstack and python required versions?
