Before you can install and configure the dashboard, meet the requirements in . When you install Object Storage and Identity only, even if you install the Dashboard, it does not pull up projects and is unusable. For more information about how to deploy the dashboard, see Deploying Horizon. Install the dashboard on the node that can contact the Identity Service as root: # apt-get install memcached libapache2-mod-wsgi openstack-dashboard # yum install memcached python-memcached mod_wsgi openstack-dashboard # zypper install memcached python-python-memcached apache2-mod_wsgi openstack-dashboard Remove the openstack-dashboard-ubuntu-theme package. This theme prevents translations, several menus as well as the network map from rendering correctly: # apt-get remove --purge openstack-dashboard-ubuntu-theme Modify the value of CACHES['default']['LOCATION'] in /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py/etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py to match the ones set in /etc/memcached.conf/etc/sysconfig/memcached.conf. Open /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings and look for this line: CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND' : 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache', 'LOCATION' : '127.0.0.1:11211' } } The address and port must match the ones set in /etc/memcached.conf/etc/sysconfig/memcached. If you change the memcached settings, you must restart the Apache web server for the changes to take effect. You can use options other than memcached option for session storage. Set the session back-end through the SESSION_ENGINE option. To change the timezone, use the dashboard or edit the /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings/etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py file. Change the following parameter: TIME_ZONE = "UTC" This guide assumes that you are running the Dashboard on the controller node. You can easily run the dashboard on a separate server, by changing the appropriate settings in local_settings.py Edit /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings/etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py and change OPENSTACK_HOST to the hostname of your Identity Service. OPENSTACK_HOST = "controller" Setup Apache configuration: # cp /etc/apache2/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf.sample \ /etc/apache2/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf # a2enmod rewrite;a2enmod ssl;a2enmod wsgi Start the Apache web server and memcached: # systemctl start apache2.service memcached.service # systemctl enable apache2.service memcached.service You can now access the dashboard at http://controller/horizon http://controller. Login with credentials for any user that you created with the OpenStack Identity Service.
