Unable to run euca-describe-images/use cloud-publish commands

Hi,

i am having exactly the same problem. I had a fully working openstack installation of Cactus and wanted to migrate to Diablo. After the migration everything seems to be working apart from the euca-describe-images. Because of which I am not able to publish/upload any new images. I have sourced a number of times but no use. It always says that I not set up euca. Waiting for someone to show a way here !

do you have --use_deprecated_auth set to true (definitely needed when you export the rc file)?

also, you should check the rc file that you are sourcing and make sure that the ip looks correct in EC2_URL

Same here, have you found a walk around?

I was getting this too. Looking at my /var/lib/nova/ log files, I was getting:

Most of that trace is irrelevant, except that its saying that the connection to the glance service failed. This is because the instructions forgot to mention installing glance.

apt-get install glance

fixed the problem for me.

I experienced exactly the same problem and I found that it happens when glance cannot connect the DB.

Find and check the line "sql_connection" in /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf.

If you are using MySQL,

  you should see the line something like:
  sql_connection = mysql://glancedbadmin:glancesecret@10.10.10.2/glance
  then try connecting the mysqld with the user and pairs described in the line.
  (mysql -uglancedbadmin -pglancesecret)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Toshi

I'm caught up at exactly the same place, via the official Ubuntu Server Guide (on a brand new machine): https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/ubuntucloud.html#ubuntu-cloud-running-instances

I've tried with distro=lucid & lucid=precise, followed by (as per guide):
`sudo cloud-publish-tarball "$distro"-server-cloudimg-amd64.tar.gz "$distro"_amd64`

but I still get:
Unable to run euca--describe-images. Is environment for euca- set up?

The MySQL auth defined in /etc/glance/glance-registry.conf works OK when I manually log in as per the suggestion @ the previous post.

/me digging now @ IRC for a possible cause/solution.
Seems most likely that the guide/post is incomplete or inaccurate

Try this solution this worked for me -

distro=precise
wget http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/$distro/current/$distro-server-cloudimg-amd64.tar.gz

Extract the Ubuntu package and go inside the extracted folder and type the following command:-

sudo glance add name="Ubuntu 12.04 cloudimg amd64" is_public=true container_format=ovf disk_format=qcow2 < precise-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

To see the uploaded image type -
 glance image-list
