It is not uncommon to triage bugs on a weekly basis where the [neutron] auth credentials are not configured in nova.conf, which generally leads to a 500 response in the compute API because of the auth error. With respect to neutron, the compute install guides really only say to set use_neutron=True, but don't mention that configuring the [neutron] section for auth is required. The networking service install guide does, so it's a bit confusing why people make this mistake in the first place, but as a reminder, this change adds links from the compute install guide to the relevant sections in the networking service install guides.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
