Hello Evreyone,

I’m newbie to ansible and awx, I’m now about testing AWX with running the hello project (manually), the problem that the playbook " helloworld.yml" running locally when the host is localhost but it’s failed when i try to run it on other host which means new inventory and host, Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Please try to ssh to the target host outside the playbook if things works then check with permission and key of awx user
