I am new to openstack. I installed openstack using devstack all on one server (for testing). All was well after installation but when I rebooted the server then openstack failed to work. Is this a normal issue? Is there additional steps to the installation so that my cloud installation survives a reboot?

I used this guide to install openstack on a single Ubuntu 16.04 server for testing and development:

This installation was installed on a FRESH install of Ubuntu 16.04 with all updates and upgrades applied. The only additional package installed outside of the default package of Ubuntu 16.04 was openssh-server.

After installation of Openstack (without rebooting) I was able to traverse all of the functions of the dashboard. I then shutdown for the evening. When I started up the next morning and started the dashboard I noticed many error messages (not able to retrieve usage data...etc...) but the big error was on Projects > Access and Security where I received the following error message:

I have reproduced this 5 times, each time re-installing Linux and OpenStack fresh and rebooting. Each time I receive the error above.

I noticed there is NO /var/log/neutron directory so I do not know where the error logs are.
