Openstack-Keystone failing to start - openstack

Question

I've tried almost everything in the past couple of days to get keystone running to no avail.
The setup is all on the same host, the virtualization and openstack and keystone are all on the same host, so I've tried setting up keystone with 127.0.0.1 and localhost and the IP of the host with no luck

I've enabled logging in the logging.conf file and set the level to DEBUG and INFO, however nothing in log files.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.Thank you

Answer 1

As I mentioned in the comment, I've never seen a config file with the section headings on the same line as config option:
[DEFAULT] log_file = /var/log/keystone/keystone.log
I've also seen it like this instead:
[DEFAULT]
log_file = /var/log/keystone/keystone.log
However, I have no idea if this is related to your issue.
To enable debug-level logging, make sure you set the following in /etc/keystone/logging.conf:
[logger_root]
level=DEBUG
Then try running keystone manually instead of as a service:
$ sudo -u keystone bash
$ HOME=/var/lib/keystone keystone-all --debug
Hopefully you'll see a relevant error message on standard out.
(I believe it will still send the logging to /var/log/keystone/keystone.log, not sure how to actually get it to log to standard out when running manually like this).

Answer 2

Add a valid token for admin_token. It should not be "*".
Check the below line:
[sql] connection = mysql://keystone:*#localhost/keystone
It should be something like:
connection = mysql://keystone:keystone#localhost/keystone
Refer to this url for an example keystone.conf file

I ran into this issue as well. I am running on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. What i found was the the service start command in /etc/init/keystone.conf is using start-stop-daemon to run the service. It was written for a newer version than the one on my box. The --chdir variable is not accepted as an input. once i removed that line keystone started right up.
Try running:
start-stop-daemon --start --chuid keystone --name keystone --exec /usr/bin/keystone-all
/etc/init/keystone.conf after
description "Keystone API server"
author "Soren Hansen <soren#linux2go.dk>"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid keystone \
--name keystone \
--exec /usr/bin/keystone-all

Check if your IP-adress is equal to HOST_IP=... in localrc

Answer 5

This might be due to keystone not getting started properly and therefore port 35357 is not in listening mode.
This seems to be anomalous behavior of service keystone.
I am mentioning steps which have worked on my system for havana installtion on Ubuntu 12.04 Kernel version 3.2.0-67-generic. After a day of headache around this issue. Try these steps, preferably in the same order.
1) Remove keystone package:-
apt-get remove keystone
2) Reboot your system
reboot
3) After reboot again INSTALL KEYSTONE.
apt-get install keystone
4) Check status of keystone service
service keystone status
It will show start/running
5) Now do the necessary changes you want to do in /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
after making changes in conf file DO NOT RESTART KEYSTONE SERVICE
Use stop and start command to make an effect of restart but don't restart.
service keystone stop
service keystone start

Answer 6

There are multiple problems with the icehouse documentations and install. packstack is broken so the only way to get started is to manually follow the upstream docs for your distro. keystone is very important to set up first correctly before moving on, because other services rely on it.
the paste-file /usr/share/keystone/keystone-dist-paste.ini should be copied to /etc/ to be accessible to the config scripts like this:
cp /usr/share/keystone/keystone-dist-paste.ini /etc/keystone/
chown keystone:keystone /etc/keystone/*
make sure to update keystone.conf with the new config_file value
documentation is wrong about the mysql connection, it should go to [sql] and not [database] so:
openstack-config --set /etc/keystone/keystone.conf sql connection mysql://keystone:PASSWD#controller/keystone
the name controller should be resolved to whatever mysql is bound to, I will add it to /etc/hosts like this if [mysqld]/bind-address in /etc/my.cnf is 10.1.1.100:
10.1.1.100 controller
make sure to uncomment log_file in keystone.conf to get what is happening.

Answer 7

I was facing similar issue.I followed below mentioned steps and openstack-keystone service got started.
Edit the /etc/keystone/keystone.conf file and complete the following actions:
In the [DEFAULT] section
[DEFAULT]
admin_token = ADMIN_TOKEN
In the [database] section
[database]
connection = mysql://keystone:KEYSTONE_DBPASS#controller/keystone
In the [token] section, configure the UUID token provider and SQL driver
[token]
provider = keystone.token.providers.uuid.Provider
driver = keystone.token.persistence.backends.sql.Token
In the [revoke] section
[revoke]
driver = keystone.contrib.revoke.backends.sql.Revoke
After making above changes populate the Identity service database using command
su -s /bin/sh -c "keystone-manage db_sync" keystone
Start the openstack-keystone service using below command
systemctl start openstack-keystone
