Is there anything I can do at the moment to manually fix this to proceed forward. Or alternatively, is there a way for me to release an older version that includes the rabbitMQ -? We are working on an ansible project and we have hit a dead end because of this ;( Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
HS

@hs-hub-world - 9.3.0 should not yet be using redis; it should still be on RabbitMQ. You can use the docker-compose or installer setup from https://github.com/ansible/awx/tree/9.3.0 instead of from devel to make sure you are using all the 9.3.0-compatible setup.

Hello @geerlingguy, well, looks like RabbitMQ has been removed from 9.3.0 after using this repo for the setup. git clone --depth 50 https://github.com/ansible/awx.git
Not sure if this was done intentionally or by accident -?
in case anyone else runs into this issue.

Thanks,
HS

In case anyone is interested for a full bash script for Centos to install AWX by specifying the version to install you may find it here: https://devopskbpages.blogspot.com/2020/03/deploying-awx-on-centos-7.html

I always pull the versions from: https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases

Apparently I have been having the same issue, while a minute ago everything worked fine... How can we fix this?

@geerlingguy does the install book pull some file from latest github or something that may cause this?

Not sure what's going on here at first glance, but 9.3.0 is definitely still RabbitMQ. Note the amqp lib in the screenshot @hs-hub-world posted:

If you're attempting to deploy AWX from devel, it's not going to work with the official 9.3.0 image (which is what I suspect you're doing, @hs-hub-world: #6365 (comment)). If you want to use devel (and thus, redis), you'll need to build your own image:

https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md#official-vs-building-images

Most likely, you want to use the 9.3.0 release:

https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases/tag/9.3.0

Hi @ryanpetrello, just to be clear are you saying when I use the git clone command below that is downloading the 'devel' version -?
git clone --depth 50 https://github.com/ansible/awx.git
After that we just do ansible-playbook...

git clone --depth 50 https://github.com/ansible/awx.git
cd /tmp/awx/installer
sed -i 's|admin_password=.*|admin_password=password|g' inventory
sslkey=$(openssl rand -base64 30)

sed -i "s|secret_key=.*|secret_key=$sslkey|g" inventory
grep -v '^#' inventory | grep -v '^$'

ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml
docker ps

Thank you
HS

Yes. The default branch of this git repo is devel. If you want 9.3.0, use git clone -b 9.3.0 ...
