It seems that every once and a while I run into issues uploading an image into Glance while using the WebUI. The “Create Image” function will just flat out fail without any helpful error messages.
As a work around to the failure listed above, I suggest using the simple example shown below to upload an image. Note that all commands are being run from the Controller Node.
First source your keystone credentials.
[root@rhel7 ~]# source keystonerc_admin
Then run the command below and wait for the output. If your’s looks anything like mine, then you will know that the image uploaded without issue.
NOTE: The commands below have two dashes before each option…. its hard to see this in the output.
[root@rhel7 ~(keystone_admin)]# glance image-create –name Cirros –disk-format qcow2 –container-format bare –is-public True –copy-from http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.3/cirros-0.3.3-x86_64-disk.img

Feel free to verify this in the WebUI, just make sure that you refresh the page before you think you have been lulled into a false sense of accomplishment.
Alternatively, you can also upload an image directly from local disk. In my particular case I am uploading directly from a locally mounted NFS mount.
