Hi,

This task is failing:

  • name: restart phantom queue processes
    service: name=queue enabled=yes state=restarted
    sudo: yes
    sudo_user: phantom

Ansible v1.5.4 on Ubunutu 12.04 (note that I get the same error when omitting “sudo:” and “sudo_user:” options)

Error:

<phantom-dal2.ava.ai> EXEC [‘ssh’, ‘-C’, ‘-tt’, ‘-vvv’, ‘-o’, ‘ControlMaster=auto’, ‘-o’, ‘ControlPersist=60s’, ‘-o’, ‘ControlPath=/home/ubuntu/.ansible/cp/ansible-ssh-%h-%p-%r’, ‘-o’, ‘Port=22’, ‘-o’, ‘IdentityFile=creds/ubuntu_phantom_dal2’, ‘-o’, ‘KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no’, ‘-o’, ‘PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey’, ‘-o’, ‘PasswordAuthentication=no’, ‘-o’, ‘ConnectTimeout=10’, ‘phantom-dal2.ava.ai’, “/bin/sh -c ‘rm -rf /tmp/ansible-tmp-1400692488.26-212551300863070/ >/dev/null 2>&1’”]

start: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

The upstart script on the host server:

start on runlevel [2345]

stop on runlevel [06]

respawn
respawn limit 4 2

setuid phantom

script
cd /mnt/git/phantom

cd /home/grim/phantom

php queue.php > /dev/null 2>&1
end script

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I suspect this might be your issue, you might need to issue the restart as
root.
