I have a controller node and a compute node. On the compute node i installed nova-compute and ntp. The controller node ip is 17.25.27.11 and the compute node ip is 172.25.27.9.
This is my compute node nova.conf file:

The cmds:

• nova image-list
• glance index
• nova flavor-list
• ecc

works properly! But when i try to do sudo nova-manage service list on the compute node i got only the service nova-network with XXX.
So i looked in the nova-compute.log file and i have found that nova-compute always try to connect to locahost 5672 instead of 172.25.27.11 5672
I tried to telnet to 172.25.27.11 5672 and i'm able to connect to controller host from the compute host by after few seconds i got "connection close by foreign host" but if i try (on the compute node) to do telnet localhost 5672 i get this error message:

INFO nova.openstack.common.rpc.common [req-50086069-cdbc-41e1-a8bc-928aeedcf14c None None] Reconnecting to AMQP server on localhost:5672
2013-05-15 11:08:02.812 ERROR nova.openstack.common.rpc.common [req-50086069-cdbc-41e1-a8bc-928aeedcf14c None None] AMQP server on localhost:5672 is unreachable

So my problem is: how can i make nova-compute to connect to 172.25.27.11 instead of localhost for the rabbitmq service?

Thanks
