Hi, I had the same issue and fixed that doing a chwon and changing the ownership to my user of the files in /etc/nova where the owner was the user nova.
In my case the files were: api-paste.ini and policy.json I posted the solution there too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19843239/getting-nova628die-trying-to-start-openstack-nova-module Thanks From: Krishanu Dhar [mailto:rony.k...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 3:40 PM To: OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] nova-api fails to start Any other recommendations on how to have a successful devstack installation?

I tried looking up email threads in google and looks like quite a few have run into this before, but couldn't find a working fix.

I ran unstack.sh again and retried the installation. it failed with the same message. So, what are my options right now?

Try running this to kill them all (ps aux | grep -ie nova | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9) and try ./stack again On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 9:14 AM, Noorul Islam K M <noo...@noorul.com<mailto:noo...@noorul.com>> wrote: Krishanu Dhar <rony.k...@gmail.com<mailto:rony.k...@gmail.com>> writes: > Hi, > > I was trying to install the devstack and it failed while starting the nova > api. below is a snippet from the console.
