Openstack project create exits with a error

Question

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and Openstack Newton. I followed the guide from Openstack Documentation. But when I reach the step where I am supposed to create a Openstack project .

openstack project create --domain default   --description "Service Project" service -v

It is exiting with error.

START with options: [u'project', u'create', u'--domain', u'default' u'--description', u'Service Project', u'service', u'-v']
command: project create -> openstackclient.identity.v3.project.CreateProject
Using auth plugin: password

END return value: 1

EDIT :

I executed the same command with a Debug flag and this is the output.

Answer 1

Create a script (credentials.sh) with following variables:

export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=<ADMIN-PASS-HERE>
export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://identityHost:5000/v3

Source the script

source credentials.sh

now execute your openstack project create command

Answer 2

After installation, need to bootstrap firstly.
Have you run similar instructions?
For example, issue following commands,

keystone-manage bootstrap --bootstrap-password ADMIN_PASS \  
  --bootstrap-admin-url http://controller:35357/v3/ \  
  --bootstrap-internal-url http://controller:35357/v3/ \  
  --bootstrap-public-url http://controller:5000/v3/ \  
  --bootstrap-region-id RegionOne  

Then try again.

Answer 3

I also had this issue - turns out that I had a typo in my keystone.conf file.

I found this by going through all the configuration steps and confirming that I had setup everything correctly.
