I just tried to run the latest ansible tower setup (2.1.0) and it failed installing redis with the following error: TASK: [packages\_el | install yum repositories] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ok: [localhost] =\> (item=[http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:cedric-vincent/CentOS\_CentOS-6/home:cedric-vincent.repo](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:cedric-vincent/CentOS_CentOS-6/home:cedric-vincent.repo)) =\> {“changed”: false, “dest”: “/etc/yum.repos.d/home:cedric-vincent.repo”, “gid”: 0, “group”: “root”, “item”: “[http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:cedric-vincent/CentOS\_CentOS-6/home:cedric-vincent.repo](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:cedric-vincent/CentOS_CentOS-6/home:cedric-vincent.repo)”, “md5sum”: “6bde4c4761979e3786e068ef764e27e7”, “mode”: “0644”, “msg”: “OK (306 bytes)”, “owner”: “root”, “secontext”: “unconfined\_u:object\_r:etc\_t:s0”, “sha256sum”: “”, “size”: 306, “src”: “/tmp/tmpLwijnm”, “state”: “file”, “uid”: 0, “url”: “[http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:cedric-vincent/CentOS\_CentOS-6/home:cedric-vincent.repo](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:cedric-vincent/CentOS_CentOS-6/home:cedric-vincent.repo)”} failed: [localhost] =\> (item=[https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jlaska/redis-28/repo/epel-6/jlaska-redis-28-epel-6.repo](https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jlaska/redis-28/repo/epel-6/jlaska-redis-28-epel-6.repo)) =\> {“failed”: true, “item”: “[https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jlaska/redis-28/repo/epel-6/jlaska-redis-28-epel-6.repo](https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jlaska/redis-28/repo/epel-6/jlaska-redis-28-epel-6.repo)”} msg: Unsupported proxy scheme: https. Currently ansible only supports HTTP proxies. FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting I had to edit roles/packages\_el/vars/CentOS-6.yml and change the protocol for the URL for jlaska-redis-28-epel-6.repo to http from https to get it to work. Once I fixed the above, the script continued until hitting the following error: TASK: [postgres | determine if postgresql user exists] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* failed: [localhost] =\> {“changed”: false, “cmd”: [“psql”, “postgres”, “-tAc”, “SELECT 1 FROM pg\_roles WHERE rolname=‘awx’”], “delta”: “0:00:00.038819”, “end”: “2015-01-08 15:09:26.522631”, “failed”: true, “failed\_when\_result”: true, “rc”: 2, “start”: “2015-01-08 15:09:26.483812”, “stdout\_lines”: } stderr: psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket “/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432”? …ignoring TASK: [postgres | create the postgresql user for awx] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* failed: [localhost] =\> {“failed”: true} msg: unable to connect to database: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket “/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432”? FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting To fix this I edited vi roles/postgres/tasks/conf.yml and added state=started to the postgres service definition (‘configure postgresql to startup automatically’). I ran setup.sh again and it got past the previous error but then the following happened: TASK: [awx\_install | create awx database schema] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* failed: [localhost] =\> {“changed”: false, “cmd”: [“awx-manage”, “syncdb”, “–noinput”], “delta”: “0:00:03.017540”, “end”: “2015-01-08 15:16:46.468519”, “rc”: 1, “start”: “2015-01-08 15:16:43.450979”, “stdout\_lines”: [“Syncing…”]} stderr: Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/bin/awx-manage”, line 9, in load\_entry\_point(‘ansible-tower==2.1.0’, ‘console\_scripts’, ‘awx-manage’)() File “/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/awx/ **init**.py”, line 91, in manage File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/ **init**.py”, line 399, in execute\_from\_command\_line utility.execute() File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/ **init**.py”, line 392, in execute self.fetch\_command(subcommand).run\_from\_argv(self.argv) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py”, line 242, in run\_from\_argv self.execute(\*args, \*\*options. **dict** ) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py”, line 285, in execute output = self.handle(\*args, \*\*options) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py”, line 415, in handle return self.handle\_noargs(\*\*options) File “/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/awx/lib/site-packages/south/management/commands/syncdb.py”, line 92, in handle\_noargs syncdb.Command().execute(\*\*options) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py”, line 285, in execute output = self.handle(\*args, \*\*options) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py”, line 415, in handle return self.handle\_noargs(\*\*options) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/syncdb.py”, line 57, in handle\_noargs cursor = connection.cursor() File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/ **init**.py”, line 162, in cursor cursor = util.CursorWrapper(self.\_cursor(), self) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/ **init**.py”, line 132, in \_cursor self.ensure\_connection() File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/ **init**.py”, line 127, in ensure\_connection self.connect() File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/utils.py”, line 99, in **exit** six.reraise(dj\_exc\_type, dj\_exc\_value, traceback) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/ **init**.py”, line 127, in ensure\_connection self.connect() File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/ **init**.py”, line 115, in connect self.connection = self.get\_new\_connection(conn\_params) File “/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql\_psycopg2/base.py”, line 115, in get\_new\_connection return Database.connect(\*\*conn\_params) django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL: password authentication failed for user “awx” stdout: Syncing… FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting This is as far as I’ve got right now, I haven’t got time to go further at this point but I thought I’d post my issues so far all the same.
