Error on service nginx start: type problem on Linuxmint

[Andre Torgal]

First post here.

In one of my hosts I have a permanent error on nginx service start.

Everything else works just fine, and the same playbook also runs fine on different servers. Starting the server from the console on the faulty server, same user, sudo, also works fine.

Tried both sudo /etc/init.d/nginx start and sudo service nginx start and the status code is 0 regardless of server being previously stopped or running.

This is my odd (I know, I know) server:

Linux mint 3.11-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux

And here's the error:

 

TASK: [nginx | nginx - start service] ***************************************** 
failed: [mint] => {"failed": true, "item": "", "parsed": false}
invalid output was: SUDO-SUCCESS-txcnkccpngclcijsbpywbprpyxggmdar

TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not str
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

the fault seems to be at get_systemd_status_dict and why would seriously consider looking at the source code, ven with my puny python skills, and search for this "number" not "string" requirement, but .. /tmp/ file is deleted after execution.

Help anyone?

Thanks!

Tracebacks are to be considered bugs.

If this is occuring on 1.5.4 or the devel branch, can you please file a ticket at github.com/ansible/ansible?

Thank you!
