Hi Kevin,

 

Change these lines in "/etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py" and it should fix the issue of being kicked off from Dashboard after logging in:

 

 

#CACHE_BACKEND = 'locmem://'

CACHE_BACKEND = 'dummy://'

SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cached_db'

 

George

Subject: [Openstack] Horizon OpenStack Dashboard RC1 on Ubuntu 12.04 B1 -can't get it working

 

Dear all,

I could do with some help.

I raised the following bugs in Horizon, specifically to do with Ubuntu.

 

On a fresh install of Precise I do the following:

 

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade

reboot

apt-get... nova, etc.

configure keystone etc

upload an image

 

all is good at this point

 

I then try and install OpenStack Dashboard:

 

apt-get update

apt-get install openstack-dashboard

 

I get the usual install of dependencies - see http://paste.openstack.org/show/11649/

I don't do any configuration - but point my browser at this host.

I get a log in screen up, so I log in with an admin user I set up in keystone

 

I then hit this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openstack-dashboard/+bug/959262

 

You can see the code trying to make a directory /var/www/.novaclient.  Given that Apache runs as www-data under Ubuntu  and that /var/www is owned by root - this is that problem.  A secure fix is required here.

To overcome this I tried setting write permissions to www-data.  I then get the first screen up, but on clicking on links takes me back to the log in screen again saying I'm unauthorized for that URI.  I enter my details again and then I get presented with the screen I asked for.

On clicking another link, I am taken back to the log in screen again.  This is bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openstack-dashboard/+bug/960070

 

Tested on Chrome 17.0.963.79 and Firefox 11.0

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Cheers,

Kev
