Bosh init gives error, on openstack, while creating bosh VM through script

Question

I have created an OpenStack environemt and I want to deploy BOSH, after which I will be deploying CloudFoundry on that VM for our office's Test environment. I am following these links as guides:

• guide for Configuring the OpenStack Icehouse on Ubuntu LTS 14.04
• guides for BOSH

After I have confiugured the script according to my environment, I ran the script and got the following errors:

Error:
    Started deploying
      Creating VM for instance 'bosh/0' from stemcell '20e80643-76a0-4b28-8993-ceafd1ecfdaf'... Failed (00:00:04)
      Failed deploying (00:00:04)

    Stopping registry... Finished (00:00:00)

Command 'deploy' failed:

            Creating VM:

(Note: The script mentioned in above BOSH link referred to Stemcell 2950 but I have replaced it with the latest one ie 2977)

Also, I am sort of new to the Linux, Openstack and cloud foundry so I apologize if it takes some time for me to understand and provide you with more diagnostic details. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong. Thank you.

This seems like the version of OpenStack you are using does not support neutron networking used by the BOSH OpenStack CPI v28+ , so you can try enabling Nova-Networking in the BOSH cloud config properties use the older nova networking api.

properties:
  openstack: &openstack
    use_nova_networking: true

See http://bosh.io/docs/openstack-nova-networking.html for details.
