nova-manage project zipfile IRT anne

paste your --sql_connection flag. you created a new database and synced it with nova-manage db sync..?

--sql_connection=mysql://root@172.28.139.46/nova

what's the problem ???

Have you created the database and synced the database to the latest revision? If not, run "nova-manage db sync" first.

(nova.root): TRACE: OperationalError: (OperationalError) no such table: users u'SELECT users.created_at AS users_created_at, users.updated_at AS users_updated_at, users.deleted_at AS users_deleted_at, users.deleted AS users_deleted, users.id AS users_id, users.name AS users_name, users.access_key AS users_access_key, users.secret_key AS users_secret_key, users.is_admin AS users_is_admin \nFROM users \nWHERE users.id = ? AND users.deleted = ? \n LIMIT 1 OFFSET 0' ('anne', False)

You're missing the tables users. And without this table it should not be possible to create new users, too. Have you successfully created the user "anne" and the project "IRT"? Login to the MySQL database and try "show tables;", "select * from users;" and "select * from projects;". Is this working? Also try a "nova-manage user list" and "nova-manage project list".

now it's OK,
thank you to all of you!

We were running into the same type of issue (OperationalError) on a 'euca-describe-groups' - turned out that the nova user was in an incorrect group (actually in no group, needs to be in the nova group) and therefore did not have access to read the nova.conf file. Just something to keep in mind if future openstackers run into this type of error.

Thanks Chris for taking the time to write that, it saved me even more hours of fault-searching.
