Hi, this error occurs when I was installing glance, could anyone help me to fix it? Thanks a lot!

The traceback is listed as below, and when I test with "$ glance image-list", the CLI responds me with "HTTPInternalServerError (HTTP 500)", I can provide with my glance-api.conf and glance-registry.conf if you need.

This could be a bug, http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/...

Can you edit your question and specify how you are trying to install glance?

thx, @smaffulli, seems you are right, since I patched line 74 of glance/cmd/registry.py, this problem has been fixed. But my glance still doesn't work. I installed glance according to the official "installation guide for ubuntu 14.04"

Glance tables in icehouse and beyond need to be converted to utf8.

Before upgrading the Image Service database, you must convert the character set for each table to UTF-8.

Use the MySQL client to execute the following commands:

# mysql -u root -p
mysql> SET foreign_key_checks = 0;
mysql> ALTER TABLE glance.image_locations CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
mysql> ALTER TABLE glance.image_members CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
mysql> ALTER TABLE glance.image_properties CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
mysql> ALTER TABLE glance.image_tags CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
mysql> ALTER TABLE glance.images CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
mysql> ALTER TABLE glance.migrate_version CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET 'utf8';
mysql> SET foreign_key_checks = 1;
mysql> exit
