Package: nova-placement-api Version: 2:14.0.0-4 Installing nova-placement-api results in a service that crashes (and gets respawned by systemd) with these logs:
systemd[1]: Starting OpenStack Compute Placement API... systemd[1]: Started OpenStack Compute Placement API. nova-placement-api[37773]: usage: nova-placement-api [-h] [--port PORT] -- [passed options] nova-placement-api[37773]: nova-placement-api: error: unrecognized arguments: --config-file=/etc/nova/nova.conf --log-file=/var/log/nova/nova-placement-api.log systemd[1]: nova-placement-api.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT systemd[1]: nova-placement-api.service: Unit entered failed state. systemd[1]: nova-placement-api.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. systemd[1]: nova-placement-api.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart. systemd[1]: Stopped OpenStack Compute Placement API. systemd[1]: Starting OpenStack Compute Placement API... [etc.] It looks like nova-placement-api is not intended to be run as a standalone service, but is a wsgi script that should be called from Apache mod_wsgi. -- Geoffrey Thomas geo...@twosigma.com
