Newer lab2 workaround

serewicz

In an effort to make the labs even smoother, this is a work-around for lab2.

# Use git to clone openstack as it shows step 2 in book. Before creation of the local.conf file complete the following steps
#As ubuntu user create the directory for the repo to download into
sudo mkdir -p /opt/stack/requirements
#Make sure Ubuntu can write to it
sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /opt/stack/
#Clone the requirements project into the newly created directory.
git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/requirements.git /opt/stack/requirements -b stable/newton
#Replace the version of appdirs to already use the newest to avoid the headache.
sed -i 's/appdirs===1.4.0/appdirs===1.4.3/' /opt/stack/requirements/upper-constraints.txt

Then continue on as normal with creation of local.conf and the ./stack.sh.  I have shared these steps with the infrastructure team. Hopefully the workaround can be implemented soon, allowing the labs for chapter 3 and 4 to be fixed shortly.

Thanks for that, but wouldn't it be simpler to update the pdf, LAB_2.1.pdf instead of expecting someone to fluke finding this or report the problem to support ?

Thanks SEREWICZ

I was having difficulty getting BUI - I could only see the apache welcome screen - the workaround you suggested helped me to get the project running successfully.
