./stack.sh:672 nova-api did not start

I have python-paste and python-pastedeploy installed. How to fix this error?

Answer 1

check out for errors in nova api screen run this command to open screens

screen -x stack

open n-api screen ususally ( Ctrl + A + 5 ). Check for errors and then restart Nova API with this command.

cd /opt/stack/nova && /usr/local/bin/nova-api & echo $! >/opt/stack/status/stack/n-api.pid; fg || echo "n-api failed to start" | tee "/opt/stack/status/stack/n-api.failure"
