fail to launch instances

Asked by Wayne A. Walls

I can flavor-list, I can image-list, but when I try to boot an instance it's kick out a 500 error on me.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 on XenServer 5.6, all plug-ins installed
Nova installed from packages
Glance installed from packages

I ran into this as well, but found I had skipped a step. Make sure that euca2ools is installed and that you've added the keypair:

euca-add-keypair nova_key > nova_key.priv

Can you help with this problem?
