Open Stack

Thanks for that. It's like the answer was staring me in the face. ;)

/opt/devstack gets created during devstacking. You really need to chown /root/devstack in this case. Here's the final flow.

ssh root at my.ip.v4.address<mailto:root at my.ip.v4.address>
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install git
git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git -b stable/havana devstack/
cd devstack/
chmod u+x tools/create-stack-user.sh
tools/create-stack-user.sh
chown -R stack:stack /root/devstack
su stack
vim localrc
./stack.sh

Cheers,
Everett

Hi Everett,
               There is no need to clone the repo again. After you create the stack user just do this

1) chown -R stack:stack /opt/devstack
2) su stack
3) ./stack.sh


Regards,
Sayaji

Hi All,

I'd like to run DevStack using create-stack-user.sh but am getting an error.

Steps:

ssh root@<IPv4 Address>
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install git
git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git -b stable/havana devstack/
cd devstack/
vim localrc # copy in the contents of https://gist.github.com/everett-toews/8013110
chmod u+x tools/create-stack-user.sh
tools/create-stack-user.sh
su stack
./stack.sh
...
/root/devstack/tools/install_prereqs.sh: line 74: /root/devstack/.prereqs: Permission denied

This fails because of a permission issue with the stack user.

I realize I could do something like the following after the "su stack" above

...
su stack
sudo mkdir /home/stack
sudo chown stack:stack /home/stack
cd /home/stack
git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git -b stable/havana devstack/
cd devstack/
vim localrc
./stack.sh

but having to clone the repo again feels wrong.

How is create-stack-user.sh intended to be used? Is there a way to use the stack user to run stack.sh without permission problems? What is the command flow?

Thanks,
Everett

P.S. Is it a bug that create-stack-user.sh doesn't have the user execute bit set?
