Dear all,  
I try to import my playbooks inside AWX, using “manual scm type”, after point “project\_data\_dir” to an existing folder:

_# AWX project data folder. If you need access to the location where AWX stores the projects_  
_# it manages from the docker host, you can set this to turn it into a volume for the container._  
_project\_data\_dir= **/home/ME/dev/AWX/** _

If I attach to both container ansible/awx\_task and ansible/awx\_web I can see my folder inside /var/lib/awx/projects and I also can see it under the menu “playbook directory” in project details, but if i try to save I receive the error in subject.

I use this guide to install:

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md)

Please can you point me on the right path ?

THX

G.

You’ll need to give us the error from the console of the container(s). Most likely the `awx_web` container will have the error message in it.

Could it depend on the fact that I was trying to use the demo project ?

Continuing to work I created a new project, with a new inventory, new credentials and now everything seems to work properly.

As soon as I can reinstall everything from the beginning and try to recreate the problem to attach the log you ask me.

Thank you
