Issues with nova services and ‘timeout’ from Python eventlet w/ CentOS and RHEL

#nova-api --config-file=/etc/nova/nova.conf &

When installing nova from source, you may run into issues when trying to run any of the nova services that look like this:

This typically means that you have allowed PyPi (pip) to install the Python eventlet module. Unfortunately, this is not compatible with the CentOS/RHEL version of Python 2.6. To check, run:

# rpm -qf $(python -c ‘import eventlet as e; print e.__file__’)

If you see something like the following, it most likely means that you have an incompatible eventlet module:

file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/eventlet/__init__.pyc is not owned by any package

To fix the issue, simply install with yum:

# yum install python-eventlet
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

* epel: epel.mirror.constant.com
* extras: mirror.its.dal.ca
