CRITICAL keystone - ConfigFileNotFound The Keystone configuration file keystonepaste ini could not be found

Question

I have installed keystone package in OpenStack., but while starting the keystone service, I am getting error. 

$ service openstack-keystone start
Stopping keystone: [FAILED] 

When I looked at the keystone log, observed the below error recorded

#tailf /var/log/keystone/keystone.log
CRITICAL keystone [-] ConfigFileNotFound: The Keystone configuration file keystone-paste.ini could not be found. 
TRACE keystone Traceback (most recent call last): 
TRACE keystone File "/usr/bin/keystone-all", line 113, in 
TRACE keystone paste_config = config.find_paste_config()
TRACE keystone File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/keystone/config.py", line 90, in find_paste_config
TRACE keystone raise exception.ConfigFileNotFound(config_file=paste_config_value) 
TRACE keystone ConfigFileNotFound: The Keystone configuration file keystone-paste.ini could not be found

How can I solve this problem?

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

As the error message says, verify whether keystone-paste.ini file exists and identified properly by thekeystone.conf file.

Open /etc/keystone/keystone.conf and see if ‘config_file‘ is referring to keystone-paste.ini file. 

[paste_deploy] 
config_file=/usr/share/keystone/keystone-dist-paste.ini 

Try starting the service again.

$ service openstack-keystone start

Hope this will work.

Thank You
