Hello Everyone
I am new to Ansible and trying to get Ansible and Ansible Tower Installed for quick proof of concept assignment. Both these pieces are being installed on the same server VM
Ansible installation has been successfully completed
`
[root@myhost.com installers]# ansible --version
ansible 2.0.0
config file =
configured module search path = None
`
Next Steps, I am trying to install Ansible Tower 2.2.2 on top of the Ansible install. An external PostgreSQL database on a remote machine is used.
After running the configure script the tower_setup_conf.yml is created as below ( passwords & IPs are masked on this post)
`
admin_password: *******
ansible_ask_pass: true
ansible_ask_sudo_pass: false
ansible_ssh_user: test_account
ansible_sudo: true
database: external
mongo: false
munin_password: ******
pg_database: ansible
pg_host: 1.2.3.4
pg_password: testing1234
pg_port: 5432
pg_username: ansible
primary_machine: myhost.com
redis_password: PTQzmDTZkwB57HDjrWsKFVqhY9dwMtCVcjJrNtdC
using_ssh_host_keys: false
`
I updated the setup.sh script to print out verbose output - Line 148
ansible-playbook -i "${INVENTORY_FILE}" -vvv --sudo \
On executing the setup.sh, it execution breaks stating its unable to connect to the host - which is surprising as its the same server. I have also tried to run this tower against another remote host without luck and the same error is encountered.
`
[root@myhost ansible-tower-setup-2.2.2]# ./setup.sh -p

Any pointers on what I may be missing here ?
