TRACE nova openstack common threadgroup OSError Errno 2 No such file or directory usr lib python2 6 site-packages instances

Question

I tried to run openstack-nova-compute command, but I am getting below error.

$ service openstack-nova-compute status 
openstack-nova-compute dead but pid file exists

The log file revealed the below message.

TRACE nova.openstack.common.threadgroup OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/instances’ 

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

As the error shows No such file or directory: ‘/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/instances’ , means you didn't add your directory path inside nova.conf file. So, add path in nova configuration file.

$ Open /etc/nova/nova.conf 

And set ‘instances_path=/var/lib/nova/instances

Thank You
