ansible virtualenv error

[Anurag Ramdasan]

I tried to install via ansible using the steps given here https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki#installing-edx-on-a-single-ubuntu-1204-precise-server

At first it gave me this error.

TASK: [common | create edx virtualenv directory] ******************************

ok: [localhost]

TASK: [common | create the edx virtualenv directory initial contents] *********

failed: [localhost] => {"cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/virtualenv", "/opt/edx", "--distribute"], "failed": true, "item": "", "rc": 2}

msg: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************

           to retry, use: --limit @/root/edx_sandbox.retry

localhost                  : ok=26   changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

I noticed that the virtual env was installed in /usr/bin/virtualenv so I moved the binary with `cp`.

After that most of the tasks proceeded well until I hit this error. Not really sure how to handle this.

Please let me know what the problem could be here. Thanks.

Hi,

Did you install the python required libs, using "sudo pip install -r requirements.txt" prior running the playbook?

set up a new fresh instance and it worked. Not sure what the problem was.
