Hey everyone!

Since today our AWX instances (23.1.0) fail to download collections and roles from the new ansible galaxy. A 403 is returned all the time. I suspected the token and tried to create a new one, but the page to manage tokens seems to be gone ([Galaxy NG](https://galaxy.ansible.com/me/preferences)).

How can i fix this?

```auto
ERROR! Error when finding available api versions from server0 (https://galaxy.ansible.com/) (HTTP Code: 403, Message: Forbidden)

```

Did you try the API token from [Galaxy NG](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/token/) ?  
Maybe that will work. _(But I don’t know, not using AWX so far)_

Did you checkt what version of ansible the AWX is using. For background info have a lokk at this post: [Unable to install collection from new Galaxy - #4 by jskacel](http://forum.ansible.com/t/unable-to-install-collection-from-new-galaxy/1238/4)

Ah yes, totally overlooked that page. Should be updated in the docs as well i guess: [ansible-galaxy — Ansible Community Documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-galaxy.html)

Now i just get a different error:

```auto
ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: '/api/v3/plugin/ansible/content/published/collections/index/community/general/versions/'

```

Not sure which ansible version our AWX is using, but we are only one version behind the latest release. And it seems i am not the only one that has issues:

It worked for me after i updated to the latest version of the awx-ee container here: [https://quay.io/repository/ansible/awx-ee?tab=tags](https://quay.io/repository/ansible/awx-ee?tab=tags)

On my macOS it worked with v2.15.4
