[Fiware-tech-help] KeyRock stack on CentOS/Ubuntu throws errors when starting dev server

[oskar.sigvardsson at groplay.com]

Hello.

I'm trying to install the KeyRock identity manager system, and I'm 
running into some troubles.

I wanted to install it on a CentOS 6.5 server, but ran into trouble 
because CentOS 6.5 only uses Python 2.6, and KeyRock requires Python 
2.7. Specifically, there's a dictionary comprehension on line 65-67 of 
file keystone/contrib/endpoint_filter/core.py, and those are a syntax 
error in Python 2.6. Your install_venv.py script will check the Python 
version, but it still allows for Python 2.6. I was able to fix that by 
building and installing Python 2.7 on the server, but I also had to 
modify the install_venv_common.py script to accept a custom Python 
executable (that is, even if you ran install_venv.py with 
/usr/bin/python2.7, it still built the virtual environment with 
/usr/bin/python, which is Python 2.6 in CentOS). For reference, I used 
this install guide, but I adapted it for CentOS: 
https://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/Identity_Management_-_KeyRock_-_Installation_and_Administration_Guide

Anyway, having done that, I managed to get both keystone and horizon 
installed, but when I tried to run them as dev servers, I got this 
error: 
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/anonymous/1fa0e4ebf8e6c7e28aba/raw/b2765ba05ce00a435269158c0d3fdda08417d2c0/gistfile1.txt

I also tried installing and running keystone/horizon on an ubuntu 
server, installing it using the fabric scripts you've provided. It was 
much more painless doing it that way, but I still got the same error 
when I tried to start it. I found this stack overflow question but the 
solution listed there didn't work: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31318859/fiware-idm-installation-error

I take it that this error is caused by running the server using regular 
HTTP and not using SSL/TLS? Is that the problem? Can I not even run it 
in a dev environment without using SSL?

I would appreciate your advise in this matter.

Thanks
