Hello,

I'm just getting started with openstack using devstack and following the quick start guide w/the all in one single machine setup on a home network. Everything seems to have gone fine with the install and startup but I can't connect to the Horizon dashboard. As recommended I changed the host machine's IP to be static. Here is what I know so far: - From my MAC book Pro I can ping the host IP but I can't connect to the Horizon dashboard. - In stack.sh.log.summary I can see "Configuring and starting Horizon" among the status messages. - running "sudo netstat -nap | grep 80" shows httpd listening on 0.0.0.0:80. - I don't think the linksys is interfering as from the same laptop I can connect to a NAS hosted dashboard I have on the same network. - After a failed attempt if I look under /etc/httpd/logs I don't see any recent logging activity. Its as though packets aren't being delivered to httpd.

Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, fxp

For more debugging from HORIZON side, you can enable the debug level for httpd in the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

#
# LogLevel: Control the number of messages logged to the error_log.
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
#
LogLevel debug

Hello,

Did you make sure the port 80 is allowed in the firewall ?

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

Whats the status of telnet to port 80 of controller node ?

Regards

Hi,

The firewall looked ok but I entered the above to make sure. I am unable to telnet to that port though.

MacBook-Pro:C fxp$ telnet 192.168.1.113 80 Trying 192.168.1.113... telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.113: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Thanks

Hi all,

I finally got back to this recently. Turns out the problem was an entry in the INPUT chain of iptables. I took a closer look at iptables after running tcpdump and seeing that the server was generating ICMP host prohibited responses.

Thanks, fxp
