Hi Guru,
Please do prior research on the internet by searching on your
favourite search engine before asking questions on the mailing list.
As for your question,
here is the answer - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=openstack+ubuntu+12.04. You
might want to refer to the links from the official docs.openstack.org
website.
As ILUGC have grown much, we should have more patience to answer the new
comer/learner/fresher.
The audience who reads your mail gets impression that, this forum is only
for experts. And people may hesitate to raise a query in this forum.
We are very tolerant and patient with the newbie posters on this list
these days. In addition to providing answers and solutions to the
posters, we also try
to educate them on the mailing list etiquette so that they will do
prior research and work before asking questions on this list instead
of treating this list as a free
technical support forum, which it is not. Most of the long-time
subscribers on this list are people who are interested in GNU/Linux,
Free(dom) software and the associated
ecosystem and want to share their knowledge and at the same time learn
from each other. There is a very good reason why "How to ask questions
the smart way" (
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) by
ESR is often
recommended on mailing lists like this to newbie members.
The another perspective is,
If you google it, you can get 100s of pages(out of it 80+ pages are not
relevant info). But only experienced people(who works on this ) can
suggest or guide the good one.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and
you feed him for a lifetime" goes a very old and popular saying which
is very relevant here. I know that searching on your favourite search
engine (say Google) can be a daunting task with 100s of pages of
results. Knowing that, though people rarely navigate beyond the first
few pages, I had pointed out the official documentation
docs.openstack.org (which happen to be within the first few results on
the first page) to the OP to help him narrow his search scope. Shrini
had suggested devstack.org which is primarily for setting up OpenStack
development environments. OP had not stated what is his purpose of
setting up OpenStack - whether for hacking on the OpenStack code, in
which case devstack.org would be a good place to start or to setup an
OpenStack production environment, for which the docs.openstack.org
links would be the best place to start.
This mail is not intent to hurt you. Just sharing my thoughts.
No offense taken. I stand by what I did to help the OP and at the same
time educate him. So no problem :-)

P.S. I know that you have been on this for quite some time now and it
would be great to set a good example for the newbies to follow by not
top posting your replies to the list and follow the mailing list
guidelines which have been mentioned in the footer of every email to
this list. Whoo! I ran out of breath reading the previous sentence
that I have typed :-)
Thanks & Regards,
Guruprasad
