I’m having an issue that I cannot google my way out of for some reason. I had Ansible working just fine on all my systems but I hadn’t used it in a while. I went back to push some changes recently and now I cannot push anything…I can’t even ‘ansible ping’ anything. I can manually SSH into each host with just my ssh keys with no issue, but when I run my playbook I get a “unreachable”: true error message. Below is the ouput and I receive this output on any ansible playbook I run. I’ve also tested this from another system with the same result, so it must be a node configuration issue or something. Any direction would be appreciated.

run with -vvv and see the full ssh command, try to run that manually  
and debug the issue from there.

When I run that command with -vvv I receive the exact same output.

If you’re asking to ping manually, that works. Using SSH into the client works too.

How long is "a while"? 🙂

Maybe a more precise question is "what version of Ansible are you using?"

Could you supply the following information:  
1. OS of the system you are running the command from  
2. The version of the OS/kernel  
3. The version of ansible you are running.

The nmuxserver\_listen bind() error usually comes from the OS/kernel  
'shutting' off access to the software. This can come from  
apparmor/selinux/macos antivirus etc. There can be other problems..  
but those were the ones I remember the most coming up.

If -vvv gives you the exact same output, there is something really  
wrong with your version of Ansible.

About a month is what I would say that it was working and now it’s not. I’m using 2.2.1.0.

I’ve sold my issue…sort off…although I don’t know what caused it. My home directory is on a gluster file system and that has been updated in the past month. When I moved it over to a regular NFS system it all started working again. I guess it’s a gluster bug. 😕
