As per comment above" "My suggestion would be to either change the line to reflect that an IP is expected or file a bug against nova?" ** Changed in: openstack-manuals Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1640512 Title: wrong format for novncproxy_base_url Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): New Status in openstack-manuals: Incomplete Bug description: "In the [vnc] section, enable and configure remote console access: [vnc] ... enabled = True vncserver_listen = 0.0.0.0 vncserver_proxyclient_address = $my_ip novncproxy_base_url = http://controller:6080/vnc_auto.html The server component listens on all IP addresses and the proxy component only listens on the management interface IP address of the compute node. The base URL indicates the location where you can use a web browser to access remote consoles of instances on this compute node." This looks like 'controller' is used as a domain name but instead an IP is expected. With 'novncproxy_base_url = http://os-controller:6080/vnc_auto.html' in my nova.conf the following error is logged: 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova Traceback (most recent call last): 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/bin/nova-compute", line 10, in <module> 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova sys.exit(main()) 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/cmd/compute.py", line 62, in main 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova service.wait() 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/service.py", line 415, in wait 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova _launcher.wait() 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_service/service.py", line 328, in wait 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova status, signo = self._wait_for_exit_or_signal() 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_service/service.py", line 303, in _wait_for_exit_or_signal 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova self.conf.log_opt_values(LOG, logging.DEBUG) 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_config/cfg.py", line 2626, in log_opt_values 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova _sanitize(opt, getattr(group_attr, opt_name))) 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_config/cfg.py", line 3057, in __getattr__ 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova return self._conf._get(name, self._group) 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_config/cfg.py", line 2668, in _get 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova value = self._do_get(name, group, namespace) 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_config/cfg.py", line 2711, in _do_get 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova % (opt.name, str(ve))) 2016-11-09 16:02:02.475 23828 ERROR nova ConfigFileValueError: Value for option novncproxy_base_url is not valid: invalid URI: 'http://os-controller:6080/vnc_auto.html' With 'novncproxy_base_url = http://10.40.x.x:6080/vnc_auto.html' in my nova.conf the service starts successfully.
