Hi Experts ,

We were trying to install the AWX in centos 7 and installation is getting failed.

The AWX project does not support installation via an RPM. Please contact the maintainers of that project.

sorry, error posted mistakenly.

I had tried ansible-tower early and just removed it by yum remove. But now awx is giving below error

I could successfully install the AWX as the steps you mentioned. After that i tried to enable ldap settings and now i am not able to login either by ldap user and local ADMin account. Is there any way to reset the password for Admin account?
