Lab-8.1.
Packstack install completed successfully:

And I don't see a Public-IP

I can't logon to OpenStack BUI and OpenStack Dasboard tab shows the apache welcome page. I can source the keystone and run CLI

How can I access the OpenStack BUI,

    Additionally:
    One of the prep is yum update and it install a new Kernel and if you rebooted the server to get the new kernel to boot up, you will loose the instance and all the update. Possibly clear the cache or open the lab in incognito mode.

    There is no reboot step in the Lab, but there was new kernel package part of the yum update. And I was thinking to run reboot or systemctl reboot to boot into the new kernel. After the reboot: I see the below message

    Your Interactive Bash Terminal.*

    ssh: connect to host host01 port 22: No route to host

    This may have been due to the internet connection dropping.

    I did refresh but keep getting the same error message, even after couple of hours thinking boot up may take some time.

    The 172.x IP address is acting as your public IP address. If you read the paragraphs and graphics at the start of each chapter you'll find they explain the use of the tab inside the Katacoda page, with the title OpenStack Dashboard as well as the URL under /opt/host to gain access to the BUI.

    I will test the issue after update. This is not the expected happening, I'll post after I figure out the issue.

    Regards,

    I did access by following as per the lab doc: Use the OpenStack Dashboard tab via the Katacoda page to access the Horizon BUI.

    Before the install, it will ask to specify the port number, the NGINX page.
    After successful RDO install, the dashboard BUI access shows the apache welcome page directly.

    I am going to run/install the packstack again. Will see again the dashboard and /opt/host

    OK Install finished.

    There was not file/dir host under /opt

    No Problem. Happy to help. Thanks for addressing the issue and taking the action to fix.
    Lab-10 pretty much covers for Lab-8.
    I will try adding the dashboard URL as one of the ServerAlias next time.
    Best,

    SOLVED

    I see the Lab-8 is updated with ServerAlias host and /opt/host and I can confirm the issue is fixed with new lab version for Lab-8. I am able to launch BUI. Thanks again adressing the issue.

    Hi all,

    I am executing now also Lab 8.1 and getting only to the apache testing page. I added the ServerAlias in the httpd.conf
    file as described in the lab and restarted the respective services. Could you please help?

    Thanks!

    Hello all,

    I am running into this same issue with this lab. Packstack completes successfully with no errors and I have edited/verified the files as described in this thread as well as restarted httpd and memcached. Any thoughts on what else to look for?

    Thanks for any help.

    I appreciate the thoughts. I have tried the /opt/host file fix and the ServerAlias fix mentioned in this thread and I still get the test page rather than the OpenStack login page. I'll try it again tonight just to make sure.

    Thanks for the update. I have not had a chance to test this yet, but I know that when I tried the ServerAlias entry in the past I put the https:// part in there. I'll try it without when I have time to do so.
