I followed the instructions at http://devstack.org/guides/single-machine.html to install OpenStack.

I first installed Ubuntu on my Windows 7 PC using the officially supported Windows installer for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. And after that I followed the instructions at above page to install OpenStack.

As per instructions, I should be able to access the dashboard aka Horizon, at http://192.168.1.4/ (thats the IP of the PC on which I installed Ubuntu->OpenStack).

However I am getting a 500 error web page when I open that.

How do I resolve this error? I want to set up a dev environment for OpenStack.

For your ref, the whole error message is given now--

This is a bug in quantal node and nodejs support in devstack (but may get fixed in horizon). Given I'm trying to do the same as you (in a VM) I got horizon working by:

  1. sudo su
  2. cd /usr/bin
  3. ln -s nodejs node

This creates a symlink called node that points to nodejs. Assuming all other things are equal horizon should launch OK now.

  • NOTE: I took the path of do-release-upgrade from 12.04 LTS to 12.10 because devstack dependencies are supposedly looked after... so you may consider doing that as well
