I re-instanced my vms and started from scratch.  
I am still getting stuck on this step “create the external network”

I have 2 centos 6.4 nodes each with 2 nics.  
I’m running the playbook from my mac.

quantum\_network is being executed on the admin node when it fails.

the quantum server log contains the following:

[root@Linux-OpenStack-Admin ~]# cat /var/log/quantum/server.log  
2013-08-02 11:16:09 ERROR [quantum.openstack.common.rpc.impl\_qpid] Unable to connect to AMQP server: Error in sasl\_client\_start (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Credentials cache file ‘/tmp/krb5cc\_164’ not found). Sleeping 1 seconds

If i  
touch /tmp/krb5cc\_164

the error becomes:  
2013-08-02 11:31:12 ERROR [quantum.openstack.common.rpc.impl\_qpid] Unable to connect to AMQP server: Error in sasl\_client\_start (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Bad format in credentials cache). Sleeping 60 seconds

Here is the debug output from the ansible playbook:

Hi Kesten,

Can you check if the activemq is running and accepting connections, also can you send the quantum.conf and nova.conf file so that we check if the mq configurations are proper in the file.

Regards,  
Benno

Activemq is NOT running. In fact, it appears to not even be installed. I received no errors about it though. Based on the errors and config files,

There are a bunch of qpid files installed, and i can reproduce the error I see in quantum/server.log like so:

[root@Linux-OpenStack-Admin bin]# /usr/bin/qpid-config  
Failed: ConnectionFailed: (None, “Error in sasl\_client\_start (-1) SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (Credentials cache file ‘/tmp/krb5cc\_0’ not found)”)

[root@Linux-OpenStack-Admin bin]# which activemq  
/usr/bin/which: no activemq in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

Attached are the requested nova and quantum .conf files.

Perhaps it is realted to these filed bugs

[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=693840](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693840)

cyrus-sasl-gssapi is installed on my system (presumably as a result of the ansible script - it was a pretty minimal system, freshly installed centos 6.4)
