Thanks Nate for the quick reply. There is no such directory on the system (I am using devstack if that helps...)

Remove any files in there and restart the services. Nate On Apr 14, 2012 8:56 PM, "Salman Malik" <salmanmk at live.com> wrote: Hi All, I am having problem with getting nova-service to work. The last line that is shown on the screen is: "2012-04-14 19:42:39 DEBUG nova.utils [-] Attempting to grab file lock "iptables" for method "apply"... from (pid=3649) inner /opt/stack/nova/nova/utils.py:936" and the service is stuck at this point. So when I do a nova-manage service list, network service turns out to be unhappy. I haven't found much help on how to 'unlock' iptables file. Thoughts please ?
