I’m trying to manage an apache load balancer with apache2_mod_proxy, and am getting the following error. If someone could help that would be very much appreciated.

I’ve submitted it as a bug with more information, here. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/54259

Hi,

First point, did you install "BeautifulSoup python module" as written in documentation ?

Seems you can install this module with EPEL repo (https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-x86_64/python-BeautifulSoup-3.2.1-7.el7.noarch.rpm.html)

I installed it the following way, which installed version 3.2.1

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum install ./epel-release-latest-*.noarch.rpm
yum -y install python-pip
pip install beautifulsoup

Yes, the server I’m pointing at is a production server working as a load balancer for Genesys Web Services.
