Can not login Dashboard / Unable to find the server at mykeystoneurl

Question

I installed Dashboard following this guide: http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStackDashboard

Everything fine, but when I run the server, I can not login with the username and password in DATABASE config in local_settings.py. Here's my config:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'dashboarddb',
        'USER': 'nova',
        'PASSWORD': 'nova',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'default-character-set': 'utf8'
    },
}

When I run the Dashboard server and enter username + password. It returned this error on browser: Unable to find the server at mykeystoneurl (HTTP 400)

And in the command line:

DEBUG:openstack_dashboard.settings:Running in debug mode without debug_toolbar.
DEBUG:openstack_dashboard.settings:Running in debug mode without debug_toolbar.
Validating models...

Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

I also tried login as "admin" with password is "password" or "secrete" but I didn't work. What's wrong?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You need to be running a keystone server, and point the dashboard toward it via the OPENSTACK_HOST settings in local_settings.py

Answer 2

Yes,the dashboard must run on the PC with keystone runnig on it.And you must point the dashboard toward it via the OPENSTACK_HOST ,and also the CACHE_BACKEND must aloso point to the keystone server's url
