ssh can't access instance

I created an openstack cluster on CentOS based on this link "https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_EPEL (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GettingstartedwithOpenStackEPEL)".

I found I couldn't ssh the instance. That is, I'm stopped at this step: ssh -i oskey.priv root@10.0.0.2

After some debugging with VNC on the instance, I figured the public key file has not been imported to the instance. The instance doesn't even have /root/.ssh/ directory. I wonder where I could make mistake and how to solve this problem.

Hi Leo,

if your key are not imported to your instance, the cloud-init package can't communicate with your metadata service. Make sure your routes and/or gateways are all correct configured.

Hi Heiko, Thanks for your reply. How can I check the log of "cloud-init" package communication ? Which port does this communication use ? I was able to ping the new instance. Does that mean the route and/or gateways are OK ?

If you can ping your instance it is probably OK. Did you try some other images, like those here: https://github.com/rackerjoe/oz-image-build - I'm using CentOS image from here, it works and it is actually 6.4
