I think it might bcz i use novascript to install and run nova. there are no pk.pem in /nova or /nova/CA

how to create the certification ?

I use nova-manage to create certification by

root@openstack:/# nova-manage project zipfile admin admin

the result is failed ........

I tried to solve it by creating a new administrator or user of nova.
