  • After deploying Swift cluster according to the documentation, I am unable to create containers from the Horizon dashboard.
  • The following error message shows up in the /var/log/swift/swift.log file on the Controller node:

  • At the same time the following error message shows up in the /var/log/swift/swift.log file on one of the Storage nodes:
