Thank you very much for this. Helped a lot

One question.

FLOATING_RANGE= (range not used on the local network), could you explain a little bit more? 
Say my host has the IP of 192.168.100.25 on eth0.
Does this mean I should use something different than 192.168.100.0/24? 

Thanks

Hi Jake,

most of the info here have been shamelessly copied from http://devstack.org/guides/single-machine.html
In general devstack.org has plenty of information to understand how it deploys openstack and troubleshoot issues.

Ethernet interface that connects the host to your local network. This is the interface that should be configured with the static IP 
 
FIXED_RANGE=10.0.0.0/20

configure the internal address space used by the instances 
NETWORK_GATEWAY=10.0.0.1

Used by neutron to configure internal subnet's default gateway.
 
FLOATING_RANGE=192.168.174.1/24

Should be configured to a range not used on the local network, i.e. 192.168.1.224/27. This configures IP addresses ending in 225-254 to be used as floating IPs.
 
EXT_GW_IP=192.168.174.1

Not sure where it is used.  (Neutron uses a variable called PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY for a very similar purpose)
