i'm having some difficulties following the tutorial at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/development_saio.html
1) the user: i don't understand how it's meant, i guessed: - root for the commands - <your-user-name> should be "swift", a user account without login privileges, created as: useradd -s /usr/sbin/nologin swift - some standard user with login where the ~/bin stuff goes because the text says "Swift processes also run under a separate user and group" (separate, so not the same as my user). "which may not exist on your system" confusing also, does it mean it does not need to be created? or that it probably does not exist yet, and i should create it? i've used the standard user to run the commands with sudo. but then i got stuck with setting up scripts when running them as my login user (not swift user), i got: myuser@mymachine:~/bin$ remakerings Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/swift-ring-builder", line 676, in <module> mkdir(backup_dir) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'backups' Ring Builder file does not exist: object.builder ... so: should the swift user be a standard user, and also run the scripts? 2) i don't want to get a dev version of the code, so i've followed the install instructions from http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/howto_installmultinode.html installing swift worked, but not python-swiftclient: myuser@mymachine:~/bin$ sudo apt-get install python-swiftclient Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package python-swiftclient 3) i'm setting up a vm to be used for development, but i'll also clone it to use it for the early stage of the running live app. is there a better tutorial somewhere? thanks, gonfi
