[titled_box title=”Update:” variation=”slategrey”] My latest installation document for Folsom can be found at the post OpenStack Folsom Quantum Devstack Installation Tutorial and Screencast. It’s too tough to try and keep up with debugging installers myself so I am just using DevStack in that tutorial. Thanks![/titled_box]

My notes from an OpenStack & Ubuntu 11.10. These are only my notes. Lots of errors. It was a fairly painless install. I didnt have the lab gear setup with two Nics so I got a bit kludgy at the end. I think the interesting component will be to replace the Openstack bridging with OpenVswitch.

Installing the OpenStack Dashboard

Here are the overall steps for creating the OpenStack dashboard.

Install the OpenStack Dashboard framework including Apache and related modules.

Configure the Dashboard.

Restart and run the Apache server.

Install the OpenStack Dashboard.

sudo apt-get install openstack-dashboard openstackx python-sqlite

Enable the rewrite module for apache: sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Next, create a symbolic link to “dash” with the Apache2 Enable site utility (a2ensite).

sudo a2ensite dash

Disable the “default” site so that the Dashboard can come up as the Apache site’s default.

sudo a2dissite default
