Installation of ironwood.master on server

[wak120191 (Waleed)]

I am trying to install ironwood.master using native installation method by following this link: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/a/pages/146440579/Native+Open+edX+Ubuntu+16.04+64+bit+Installation

On my EC2 server, I am able to proceed and complete TASK [nginx : Install the nginx package].

But found Failed! in case of another server which even mets the same criteria as EC2 does.

Looking for help!

@wak120191, it’s better to copy text than to use screen shots. But: what version of Ubuntu is this?

Hi @nedbat

I am using ubuntu 16.04 for above both cases. Following is the error in text copied from console :

For allow-unauthenticated I tried to make a change in Ansible task file \edx\etc\playbooks\roles\nginx\tasks\main.yml

• name: Install the nginx package
  apt:
  name: nginx
  state: latest
  update_cache: yes
  allow_unauthenticated: yes
  force: yes
  notify: restart nginx
  tags:
  • install
  • install:system-requirements

But no success yet!

I just realized this is a duplicate of the question you asked three days ago: Nginx error while installing open edX from ironwood.master release

Please don’t re-ask the same question. It just adds noise, and splits the efforts of people trying to help you.

[nedbat (Ned Batchelder)]

I just tried installing ironwood.master on a fresh 16.04 machine on AWS, and it completed successfully. Something else must be different about your machine, though I don’t know what.

What else have you done on that machine since it was first booted?

Hi Mr @nedbat

Thank you so much for looking into this issue. Reason behind it was downloading of nginx package were disabled by this new server. I discovered it when I was trying to install nginx sepaerately for this new server. And I got response connection failed.

Ansible message

There were unauthenticated packages and -y was used without --allow-unauthenticated

wasn’t helpful to understand reason.

[nouman (Nouman Iftikhar)]

kindly help me that how u enable downloading on server i’ve same issue

[wak120191 (Waleed)]

Hi Nouman,

Try to install NGINX separately on server. And if it gives error right away it means there is some firewall or other blockage by server.

you can even get helped by this link : https://blog.lawrencemcdaniel.com/open-edx-installation/
