I’m attempting to install the all-in-one, containerized version of Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) 2.4 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.5 server, but I’m encountering a persistent error during the initialization of the Automation Hub database. The installation fails with a ModuleNotFoundError for the galaxy_ng.app.auth.session.SessionAuthentication module, preventing the pulpcore-manager command from completing. I’ve tried using both the bundled installer and an online installation (pulling images from Red Hat), but the issue persists. I need assistance troubleshooting and resolving this problem to complete the AAP 2.4 deployment.
Error:
