Re: Dashboard VNC Console failed to connect to server

 

Michael, try to install nova-consoleauth, like Anthony said. The old error was fixed when I installed it, now I'm having another issue, but now I think it's related to my network.

    I've got the same problem.

    

    When I try to connect to the instance using VNC through the
    dashboard, I've got this error. I then went in
    /var/log/nova/nova-xvpvncproxy.log and it contains nothing related
    to any attempt to get connected to any instance. It seems this
    nova-xvpvncproxy process doesn't notice anything.

    

    

    When I try to connect using VNC through virt-manager, it works.

        Thanks for the reply.

        

        I've added the flags that you mentioned on my nova.conf file.
        I'm using a all in one installation, the flags are configured
        this way.

        --vncserver_listen=127.0.0.1

        --vncserver_proxyclient_address=127.0.0.1

        --novncproxy_base_url=http://192.168.100.142:6080/vnc_auto.html

        

        The public IP of the machine with the OpenStack installation is
        192.168.100.142.

        I've tried to access via browser the address
        http://192.168.100.142:6080/vnc_auto.html from another machine,
        but I got nothing.

        

        I can ping and ssh my instances from the OpenStack machine but
        can't use VNC tab at dashboard page from another machine. The
        details and other pages from dashboard are fine.

        Should I associate a public address for my instances? I'm using
        just the private address at them (10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3, ...).

        

        I've restarted all the services and created new instances after
        changing the nova.conf, but nothing has changed.

        

        The error is a 404 not found. (Error: Unable
        to get VNC console for instance
        "7376e17b-e329-4b8b-b5fc-076e8a80c058".)

        The log from dashboards page looks like this:

            - Page Not Found (404)

            - Requested method: GET

            - Requested URL: http://192.168.100.142/nova/instances_and_volumes/instances/7376e17b-e329-4b8b-b5fc-076e8a80c058/None

        

        This is the nova-api.log relative to the VNC atempt: http://pastebin.com/wSuyctrg

        

        Thanks for your time.

        Guilherme Birk.

          How are you generating this link: http://192.168.100.142/nova/instances_and_volumes/instances/5307a5c5-249b-4eda-b6e4-5b17d349e8ee/None ?
          
            

              
          It looks like if
                horizon is behaving nicely the link would look like http://192.168.100.142/nova/instances_and_volumes/instances/5307a5c5-249b-4eda-b6e4-5b17d349e8ee/vnc
          

          
          Also, could you pastie your nova-api.log somewhere?

                    I'm having problems with it too. I'm trying to
                    connect on my instances in the VNC tab at the
                    dashboard, but I'm getting a 404 not found in the
                    URL http://192.168.100.142/nova/instances_and_volumes/instances/5307a5c5-249b-4eda-b6e4-5b17d349e8ee/None

                    

                    Here is my nova-api.log. Looks like nova is having
                    problems with the POST at http://localhost:8774/v1.1/db742491018d467690ba7d3a7bb383a5/servers/5307a5c5-249b-4eda-b6e4-5b17d349e8ee/action.

                    

                    Any suggestions ?
