So all my AWX Pods are built and initialized fine, however the Web UI responses with a “404” not found error message when trying to navigate to the AWX UI URL. Looking at my controller logs I see, this message… **“The package kubernetes.client.apis is renamed and deprecated, use kubernetes.client.api instead”** I don’t see how I change the Kubernetes packages during the initial build process using awx-operator? I originally was using awx-operator 0.3.0, and had several successful builds several months ago on RHEL/Centos 8 machines, using a Playbook I wrote, but now AWX isn’t loading the Web UI, which seems as a result of these weird issues with the kubernetes packages saying essentially: **ansible\_k8s\_exec\_payload.zip/ansible\_collections/kubernetes/core/plugins/modules/k8s\_exec.py\", line 241, in main\n File \"/tmp/ansible\_k8s\_exec\_payload\_cptv36h9/ansible\_k8s\_exec\_payload.zip/ansible\_collections/kubernetes/core/plugins/modules/k8s\_exec.py\", line 212, in execute\_module\nValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘error executing command in container: http: invalid Host header’ message** I have upgraded to awx-operator 2.5.0, & yet the issues still remain. Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone responded to this yet? I’m seeing the same with 2.5.2 operator as well on ubuntu with K3s. {“level”:“error”,“ts”:“2023-09-04T15:30:15Z”,“msg”:“Reconciler error”,“controller”:“awx-controller”,“object”:{“name”:“awx”,“namespace”:“awx”},“namespace”:“awx”,“name”:“awx”,“reconcileID”:“3c924f4b-48af-4819-94a7-22baff688395”,“error”:“event runner on failed”,“stacktrace”:“[sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(\*Controller).reconcileHandler](http://sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).reconcileHandler)\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.14.5/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:329\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(\*Controller).processNextWorkItem\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.14.5/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:274\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(\*Controller).Start.func2.2\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.14.5/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:235”} -Praveen ---

can you provide your AWX spec yaml file you used to deploy? do you have the same issues if you do a fresh install of latest AWX (and not an upgrade)? AWX Team ---

I was able to solve this…. There’s an issue with the newer versions of docker, that breaks the AWX install. I was able to get AWX installed using k3s but I had to make sure I did not use the docker option when initially installing k3s, or have docker installed on my system. It didn’t matter what awx-operator version I used, the awx install still failed, It wasn’t until I read that there might be some issue with the go-lang module that newer docker versions might be complied with did I test out the AWX install with docker removed, and it worked.
