Ansilbe tower install fail

[Abhishek Reddy]

Hi, 

I'm trying to install ansible tower version of 3.2.3-1.el7.x86_64 on a redhat 7.4 OS. 

i'm getting error as 

TASK [postgres : create the postgres user and set the password] *****************************************************************************************************

********************************************************************************************

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"censored": "the output has been hidden due to the fact that 'no_log: true' was specified for this result"}

to retry, use: --limit @/root/ansible-tower-setup-3.2.3/install.retry

if i commented no_log under roles/postgres/tasks/conf.yml then it thows an error as 

TASK [postgres : create the postgres user and set the password] *******************************************************************************************

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Sorry, user root is not allowed to execute '/bin/sh -c echo BECOME-SUCCESS-hqgjipvuthznqdqntxibmxnvjefrifob; /usr/bin/python /tmp/ansible-tmp-1519939005.94-29424015426397/postgresql_user.py' as postgres on nke-lnx-dis-d108.\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 1}

to retry, use: --limit @/root/ansible-tower-setup-3.2.3/install.retry

in roles/postgres/tasks/conf.yml file i have commented no_log and rerun the setup.sh script.

- name: create the postgres user and set the password

  postgresql_user:

    name: "{{ postgres_username }}"

    password: "{{ postgres_password }}"

  become: True

  become_user: postgres

  when: "postgres_username is defined and postgres_username != '' and postgres_password is defined and postgres_password != ''"

  #no_log: True

Kindly help me how to fix this

There's no point in making changes to the playbook(s). It's probably an issue with your inventory.

I'm hitting this issue, too, on 3.2.5.  What's wrong with my inventory:

rowagn@dbatower01:~/ansible-tower-setup-bundle-3.2.5-1.el7#> more inventory
[tower]
localhost ansible_connection=local

[database]

[all:vars]
admin_password='xxx'

pg_host=''
pg_port=''

pg_database='awx'
pg_username='awx'
pg_password='xxx'

rabbitmq_port=5672
rabbitmq_vhost=tower
rabbitmq_username=tower
rabbitmq_password='xxx'
rabbitmq_cookie=cookiemonster

# Needs to be true for fqdns and ip addresses
rabbitmq_use_long_name=false

# Isolated Tower nodes automatically generate an RSA key for authentication;
# To disable this behavior, set this value to false
# isolated_key_generation=true

My problem isn't the inventory, it's that roles/postgres/tasks/conf.yml includes a "become_user: postgres."  Our environment precludes root from having sudo privs.  This is actually breaking several parts of the installation.
