Glance - HTTPInternalServerError (HTTP 500) - Help!

Asked by Richard Cunningham

Hi,

I am looking for some help debugging glance. My build is:

cunningr@OpenStack:/tmp/images$ uname -a
Linux OpenStack 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:31:23 UTC
2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

glance is the latest version:

cunningr@OpenStack:/tmp/images$ sudo apt-get install glance
[sudo] password for cunningr:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
glance is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

(not sure how to get the version from glance as "glance --version" is
not working)

When I try to add an image as per the install guidelines I get
"HTTPInternalServerError (HTTP 500)".

I worked through some authentication errors already with keystone and
I _think_ this part is working now. When I try to get an auth token
with curl using the same credentials it seems to work ok:

cunningr@OpenStack:/tmp/images$ curl -k -X 'POST' -v

But when I try to add an image with Glance I get an internal server error:

The 500 is being thrown from the glance-registry service API call to persist the image metadata.

Check your /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf to ensure the sql_connection config option is set properly, for example:

  sql_connection = mysql://username:password@mysql/glance

(where username and password relate to the mysql credentials).

Check the /var/log/glance/registry.log for an indication as to why the metadata registration is failing. If there is nothing enlightening in the log, try up'ing the log verbosity with debug=True & verbose=True in /etc/glance/glance-api.conf, then restart the glance-registry service.

Thanks for the response. Here are my sql_connection setting:

cunningr@OpenStack:~$ sudo grep sql_connection /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf
#sql_connection = sqlite:////var/lib/glance/glance.sqlite
sql_connection = mysql://glance:glance@192.168.1.77/glance
cunningr@OpenStack:~$ sudo grep sql_connection /etc/glance/glance-api.conf
#sql_connection = sqlite:////var/lib/glance/glance.sqlite
sql_connection = mysql://glance:glance@192.168.1.77/glance

I upped the verbosity for both the api and registry service and reran the command.

In the registry log I see:

There's not much indication in the registry log as to why the attempted insertion failed.

Can you try the following with the mysql client:

$ echo "INSERT INTO images (created_at, updated_at, deleted_at, deleted, id, name, disk_format, \
     container_format, size, status, is_public, location, checksum, min_disk, min_ram, owner, protected) \
     VALUES ('2013-01-18 17:00:00', '2013-01-18 17:00:00', NULL, 0, '53c06e6d-ced7-4ee0-9a92-acfc2d8219c7', \
     'tty-linux-kernel', 'aki', 'aki', 4404752, 'queued', 0, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, 'f9a70976a8064aceb3523191e03d8c1c', 0);" \
      | mysql -u glance -pglance glance

and report back the error.

Thanks a lot! When I ran that command I discovered that the glance DB tables did not exist in MYSQL also show with:

mysql> use glance;
Database changed
mysql> SHOW TABLES;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> exit
Bye

I had to run the " glance-manage db_sync" with sudo for some reason (it returned ok without but didn't actually instantiate anything). After I did this:

mysql> use glance
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> SHOW TABLES;
