Open Stack

Hi, I had the same issue and fixed that doing a chwon and changing the ownership to my user of the files in /etc/nova where the owner was the user nova.

In my case the files were: api-paste.ini and policy.json

I posted the solution there too:

Thanks

Any other recommendations on how to have a successful devstack installation?

isn't it expected to fail if the file is owned by "nova"... weird.

it did not even start the process in my case.
I tried looking up email threads in google and looks like quite a few have run into this before, but couldn't find a working fix.

Nothing was left behind.

#ps aux|grep -ie nova did not return anything.

Did you check if there are any nova process left running?

Appreciate the responses. But there is something wrong with this. I ran unstack.sh again and retried the installation. it failed with the same message.

So, what are my options right now?

Sometimes after ./unstack is ran, some process are still runnning for nova.
Try running this to kill them all (ps aux | grep -ie nova | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9) and try ./stack again

Did you try "screen -x stack" ?
