Public bug reported:

the docs tell you to add the 'connection=...' line after the [database]
section within /etc/nova/nova.conf

i then created and ran the bash script as follows:
OLD="^#connection=mysql.*"
NEW="connection = mysql://nova:$NOVA_DBPASS@controller/nova"
sed -i "/^\[database\]/,/^\[/{ s~$OLD~$NEW~ }" /etc/nova/nova.conf

unlike some of the other openstack config files that require a '[database]' section,
unbeknownst to me, there was no '[database]' section in /etc/nova/nova.conf so my script did nothing

i later kept getting the following error:
"Access denied for user 'nova'@'localhost' (using password: YES)") None None

googling I found many people faced the same error, but nothing lead me
to this issue.

i recommend adding a '[database]' section to /etc/nova/nova.conf
