Re: [Openstack] setup linux users
so i've updated all 13 config files (proxy-server.conf and the 12 1-4.conf) to have as 'swift'. then i run remakerings as root as i was told, and that changes all 13 config files. wherever it said 'swift' it now is 'root', also in the places where 'swift' was hardcoded. then running startmain fails: Error trying to load config from /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf: root Error trying to load config from /etc/swift/container-server/1.conf: root ... what could be wrong?

Re: [Openstack] setup linux users
thanks, made some progress. this user had the same problem https://answers.launchpad.net/swift/+question/201810 i've now apt-get removed swift, and then installed all from git. that worked. except there are 2 failing unit tests, something about differences in expected http return codes. after this all my config files are now confused with the user. wherever i had set 'swift' as the user, it's now overwritten to 'myuser'. even in those places where the manual had 'swift' hardcoded, not ''. so i still don't know if is supposed to be my non-root with-login user, or my no-login user named swift. i'm now trying to change all files to have 'swift' in there in all places.

Re: [Openstack] setup linux users
Hi, You have to be root to get the user part right. i.e. myuser@mymachine:~$sudo su myuser@mymachine:~#cd bin myuser@mymachine:~/bin$remakerings And as for the second one, try, $sudo apt-get update $sudo apt-get install python-swiftclient If it doesn't work, download the package from mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/p/python-swiftclient/python-swiftclient_1.2.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb and install it using dpkg manager.
