inventory:

`[primary]`  
localhost ansible\_connection=local

[secondary]

[database]

[all:vars]  
admin\_password=‘p1’  
redis\_password=‘p1’  
pg\_password=‘p1’

#pg\_host=‘’  
#pg\_port=‘’

pg\_database=‘awx’  
pg\_username=‘awx’  
pg\_password=‘’

sudo ./setup.sh fails with following error:

`

TASK: [preflight | Preflight check - Passwords must be defined for a fresh install] \*\*\*  
failed: [localhost] =\> {“failed”: true, “item”: “”}  
msg: Please configure passwords in the inventory file before running setup

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

`

What I’m missing?
