I am running AWX on my local machine I have added the git address where my playbooks are stored.

[git@github.corp.com](mailto:git@github.corp.com):DEVOPS/ansibleplaybooks

I then added my private key to the credential section.

But then when I click ‘run an scm update’

I get the following error:

Failed updating job undefined with variables. POST returned: 500 A server error has occurred.

Then if I go over to job templates, there are no playbooks.

I can git clone [git@github.corp.com](mailto:git@github.corp.com):DEVOPS/ansibleplaybooks on my local machine using the same private key.

What exactly does the run scm update button do?

If the server returned a 500 error then we need to see the console logs to know what went wrong.

Not sure if related, but after seeing this issue [https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/86](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/86)  
it’s worth mentioning that my instance of AWX was deployed using this swarm template:  
[https://github.com/kiranos/playground/tree/master/awx/swarm](https://github.com/kiranos/playground/tree/master/awx/swarm)

It’s hard to know if you didn’t use our installer, I’d check with that repository maintainer to see if he can help you out.
