Troubleshooting Tips for OpenStack Compute (Nova)

Starting Points

Most of the installation instructions are written for Ubuntu, but there is also information about Centos and Fedora.

You can also check the Answers area of the Launchpad site for Nova to find asked and answered questions.

OperationalError: (OperationalError) database is locked


Check your permissions - if you installed as root but are trying to run Nova as another user, these errors may appear.
