unit installation fails (sync db)

[landam]

When installing unit from scratch the installation process fails with

TASK [client-web : Sync database] **********************************************
fatal: [gislab-unit-roudnice]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "./manage.py syncdb --noinput --settings=djproject.settings", "failed": true, "msg": "[Errno 13] Permission denied", "rc": 13}

Can't replicate using Vagrant.

Can you try to run "./manage.py syncdb --noinput --settings=djproject.settings" by hand ?

[landam]

like this?

 sudo python /opt/gislab/system/clients/web/www/manage.py syncdb --noinput --settings=djproject.settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/gislab/system/clients/web/www/manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

@landam, Python virtualenv must be activated before:

$ source /opt/gislab/clients/web/virtualenv/gislab-web/bin/activate

[landam]

/opt/gislab/clients/web/virtualenv/gislab-web/bin/activate

is not found at my unit. I used:

source /opt/gislab/system/clients/web/virtualenv/gislab-web/bin/activate

python /opt/gislab/system/clients/web/www/manage.py syncdb --noinput --settings=djproject.settings

works OK. I tried ansible again and it failed with same error message.

@landam , I have no idea. Can you SSH to machine and try to look where "Permission denied" is coming from (Django or from PostgreSQL database) ? Try to look at /storage/log/syslog

[imincik]

@landam, can you try once again with GISLAB_DEBUG_INSTALL: yes ?

Also, please check your Ansible version - $ ansible --version

It seems that my Ansible is executing this command differently:

cmd": "python manage.py syncdb --noinput --settings=djproject.settings

Similar issue: lorin/ansiblebook#5

[landam]

From documentation (all) I don't know where debug message should go, the output of ansible is the same, so probably somewhere else then to stdout?

I have

ansible 2.0.0.1
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

[imincik]

@landam, Ansible 2 is most probably the issue. Please downgrade to Ansible 1. I hope it will be OK than.

[landam]

Thanks, I downgraded Ansible to 1.7 and it works.
