Re: glance access error from remote client

Hello,

I have an Essex install of openstack on RHEL6. The controller node has
all openstack services running, and there
are several separate compute nodes.  Now I have a problem using glance.

If I issue "glance index --host=XXX --port=9292" on the controller node,
it works fine.

If I issue the same command from a remote client node, where I have all
the relevant openstack rpms installed, it
fails with the following error message:

Failed to show index. Got error:
There was an error connecting to a server
Details: [Errno 111] Connection refused

This usually because the glance CLI tool is trying to connect to the localhost (which obviously isn't running the Glance API server). Have you looked at the difference between your OS_XXX environment variables between the controller node and the remote client node? It may be that when you are doing a glance index --host=XXX --port=9292 on the controller node that the glance CLI tool is actually connecting to localhost/127.0.0.1, but I'm not completely sure..

Best,
