Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to solve the problem I am facing when trying to run a template (job), and I hope this is the place to ask, sorry if not. It errors, saying: “SCM Update failed for project\_name with ID #IDNUM#”, the SCM update function works from the “Projects” menu, and I even ran it through the docker exec command (“sudo docker exec -t -i awx\_task ansible-galaxy install -r /tmp/req.yml -p /var/lib/awx/projects/\_6\_\_ansible\_tools/roles/ --force”), and it does run correctly (I recreated the requirements.yml inside the tmp directory). But when I check through the api (/api/v1/project\_updates/#IDNUM#/) it spits an error when tring to do the first requirement with an SSL error: > [ERROR]: failed to download the file: Failed to validate the SSL certificate for [github.com:443](http://github.com:443). Make sure your managed systems have a valid CA certificate installed. You can use validate\_certs=False if you do not need to confirm the servers identity but this is unsafe and not recommended. Paths checked for this platform: /etc/ssl/certs, /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem, /etc/pki/tls/certs, > /usr/share/ca-certificates/cacert.org, /etc/ansible. The exception msg was: (“bad handshake: Error([(‘SSL routines’,‘ssl3\_read\_bytes’,‘tlsv1 alert protocol version’)],)”,). > [WARNING]: - geerlingguy.repo-epel was NOT installed successfully. I tried changing the requirement file, to see if that specific role was the problem, but the error persists. I did come across some github issues where they suggest it’s an OpenSSL error, but i did run the tests they suggest and the come good ([https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/33417](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/33417)). `$ python --version; python -c "import ssl; print ssl.OPENSSL_V ERSION": Python 2.7.5 OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013` `$ openssl s_client -connect github.com:443 [...] SSL handshake has read 3637 bytes and written 415 bytes [...]` I am running it through docker, so I have the memcached, rabbitmq, postgresql, awx\_web and awx\_task, tried rebooting the whole VM, the containters, flushing the memcache and yet there is no positive result. ` CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES c725294c98fe postgres:9.6 “docker-entrypoint…” 2 months ago Up 2 hours 5432/tcp postgres 1f4f020d6a19 ansible/awx\_task:latest “/tini – /bin/sh …” 3 months ago Up 2 hours 8052/tcp awx\_task cf752fe580d8 ansible/awx\_web:latest “/tini – /bin/sh …” 3 months ago Up 2 hours 0.0.0.0:80-\>8052/tcp awx\_web 0184fedd2331 memcached:alpine “docker-entrypoint…” 3 months ago Up 2 hours 11211/tcp memcached 4c44546521e7 rabbitmq:3 “docker-entrypoint…” 3 months ago Up 2 hours 4369/tcp, 5671-5672/tcp, 25672/tcp rabbitmq ` `$ ansible --version: ansible 2.4.1.0 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 4 2017, 00:39:18) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16)]` Used this playbook to install it: [https://github.com/geerlingguy/awx-container](https://github.com/geerlingguy/awx-container) but modified it, so that the postgresql database wasn’t set to the tmp folder. This was working last week, and the error showed up on Friday, I reverted in time to a previous commit for the project, but that didn’t work. And I am running out of ideas to what to try next, so if someone knows of any possible solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance, Best, Oscar. ---

Hey Oscar, Apparently this is an issue that was fixed with Ansible 2.4.2. Can you manually upgrade the version of ansible in the awx\_web/awx\_task containers and see if that fixes the issue? Hope that helps, keep us posted! John ---

Hello John, thanks for the reply, Updated through pip, restarted the docker containers, updated the SCM and unfortunately it does not work. Best, Oscar. ---

Hey Oscar, Sorry you are still experiencing issues! Could you try [using yum to do the upgrade](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/intro_installation.html#latest-release-via-yum)instead of pip? There may be some issues with trying to “overwrite” a package on the machine using a different install process to overwrite the dep than the install playbook [used](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/installer/image_build/files/ansible.repo). Thanks! John
