I am using the install script from: https://github.com/cloudbuilders/deploy.sh/blob/master/nova.sh (https://github.com/cloudbuilders/depl...)

Specifying the flag '--state_path' resolved the issue. Thanks.

by default it is nova.zip in the dir you executed from. If you want a different location you can specify it nova-manage --flagfile /etc/nova/nova.conf project zipfile PRO1 janson /path/to/some/zipfile.zip

but

it stoped here for a long time.

then execute "nova-manage --flagfile /etc/nova/nova.conf project zipfile PRO1 janson"

it's the same question.

if certificate db now exist and can use project zipfile, where can I find it ?

I am running into the same error, but I can't seem to be able to fix it after trying all the solutions available. Here is the error I am getting:

How did you install nova? It is trying to use a CA directory from python modules and it probably doesn't have write access. If you are running from source, just run nova from the source checkout. It looks like perhaps you did setup.py install? If you are running from packages it should have set the path to something like /var/lib/nova and the CA directory should be copied in there. If the CA directory is somewhere specific, you can use somethng like the flag --state_path=/var/lib/nova

facing the same problem however i couldnot find openssl.cnf.tmp ... Could any one help

Error! .. In CA FOLDER there is no openssl.conf is created and where to search for the template file of openstack

did you try the suggestion in the error? As in running nova-api before exporting the zipfile?

janson posted a new comment: yes, in /var/lib/nova/CA there is not a file openssl.cnf. but I don't know how to modify it. Is it just to copy from openssl.cnf.tmpl ???

got to /var/lib/nova/CA and check if there is a file openssl.cnf. If not, copy and modify it from openssl.cnf.tmpl. I'm not sure, but I think you have to call the script genrootca.sh, too.

also we created a symlink /usr/lib64/python/site-packages/CA pointing to /var/lib/nova/CA. I'm not sure if this is necessary or it's only something special about our packaging.

maybe you have no /var/lib/nova/CA and you can find the files directly in /usr/lib64/python/site-packages/CA.
