Hi Subuk,

I have build with version 1.0.0.505, the build is successfull, but when I install in local environment (centos 7) the service does not go up.
this is the error from /var/log/messages
Nov 22 10:25:57 awx awx-manage: conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
Nov 22 10:25:57 awx awx-manage: django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL: role "root" does not exist
Nov 22 10:25:57 awx systemd: awx-celery-worker.service holdoff time over, scheduling restart.
what can I do ?

Thanks Subuk

I'm pretty sure that it's something on my side, but.. maybe this will be obvious for you. during the build I get an error message:

Hello,

I'm trying to follow the instructions from the README file, however, some of the instructions doesn't seem to work. Example:

git clone [email protected]:ansible/awx.git

Cloning into 'awx'...

ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I'm pulling down the current release since this release doesn't work. Any recommendations? Thanks

Is there an upgrade path to upgrade AWX and Ansible for this build to AWX version 1.0.6.3 and Ansible 2.5. I have a few playbooks that aren't working because the current build is running Ansible 2.3.1.0

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/awx-project/kHVOFVkl-ZI

ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.
The error appears to have been in '/var/lib/awx/projects/_7__test_project/fw_rules_port22.yml': line 5, column 7, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

systemctl start postgresql96-server

Should be:

systemctl start postgresql-9.6.service

Hi guys,

I'm having issues using proxycommand in this installation. SSH is working if used directly from the server, but I'm not able to modify the ansible.cfg (not present on the machine where the awx.rpm is installed). Is there a way to bypass that and modify the ansible.cfg?

SSH command with user awx
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/awx_rsa USER@SERVER1 uptime
14:45:31 up 12 days, 16:38, 0 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

SSH config
Host SERVER1
HostName xx.xx.xx.xx
ServerAliveInterval 60
TCPKeepAlive yes
ProxyCommand ssh -q -A USER@JUMPHOST-i /var/lib/awx/.ssh/awx_rsa nc %h %p

AWX output from web

What's wrong?

Yes. Copied awx.spec to awx-build.spec .... still the same error ...

Seems that the error is not from awe-build.spec file or awx.spec file ..it is from the source directory :

Any idea of this issue ?

/usr/lib/systemd/system/awx-daphne.service contains:
ExecStart=/opt/awx/bin/daphne -b 127.0.0.1 -p 8051 awx.asgi:channel_layer

Starting awx-daphne.service works, however, the daphne service never binds to 127.0.0.1:8051

lsof -P | grep 8051
..returns nothing.

Need to determine if there is a problem with the start up script or something within daphne not binding to 127.0.0.1:8051

Results is the RESTful Web UI does not update through the websocket

Hi Subuk, I have installed awx rpm and running well in my local environment. I use version 1.0.1.225, and CentOS 7 as a host. A litle question, I have a plan to build cluster (HA Active Passive) with awx rpm using pcs. But I don't know what resource of awx must be added in pcs. Have you tried clustering awx in your local environment ?
