Error setting up SAIO: middleware.healthcheck not found

double check for typos in your proxy-server.conf:
http://swift.openstack.org/development_saio.html#configuring-each-node

especially make sure that the helthcheck section is correct:
[filter:healthcheck]
use = egg:swift#healthcheck

Looks OK - pretty much a copy/paste from the setup page. I am wondering if I need to re-load the code base since the module seems to be missing: "ImportError: No module named middleware.healthcheck"

In the setup.py, it says (for the filter_factory installation):

healthcheck=swift.common.middleware.healthcheck:filter_factory

And the config should have:

[filter:healthcheck]
use = egg:swift#healthcheck

So I'm not sure why yours is trying to import middleware.healthcheck instead of swift.common.middleware.healthcheck

Eh, I accidentally marked this as answered, which I definitely haven't done. :)

I had the same issue installing from http://swift.openstack.org/development_saio.html

The issue has been resolved when I ran
python setup.py install , not python setup.py develop

Just getting back to this after a real work break. Thanks for your suggestion - that solved the issue. Not sure what the setup differences are between install and develop, but after I that things went fairly smoothly. I had some additional issues with the logical links for the loopback storage setup (I think the swift reset script breaks those) but there were some other notes in here that gave me enough clues to fix that too. Wish I had kept notes.

In spite of these advices i still have this issue.

ImportError: No module named middleware.healthcheck

If I remove a middleware instance in proxy pipeline then it argues on the next one and so on.
All of this is valid only when using virtualenv.

I had the same problem,solved by adding the line below in swift/common/wsgi.py
from swift.common.middleware import healthcheck, memcache, tempauth, proxy_logging

Had the same issue, along with the same errors around both middleware.healthcheck and middleware.recon, but no longer a problem once I ran `python setup.py install`.

Seems like there is probably a specific reason this wouldn't have been reflected in the docs? Or is the desired fix to adjust what occurs when the development install is built?

Hi ,

I had the same issue, The problem here was with permissions for me i.e trying to run with root user (Code is installed in /root/swift location) but it was not able to find the modules.
After going the pbr and __import__ things i found that there is some problem in finding the module to import maybe ownership(chown) or some pkg_resources issue.
What i did was:
Give permissions to the USER ,you have given Ownership while installing in the steps before.
Like:
{Command}
root # chown -R <user>:<user> /root/swift/*
{Command}
Assuming you have code in /root/swift. This worked for me , maybe it might help someone facing the same issue.
