  • Unable to Install AAP 2.2.1.1 with RHEL 8.6

    Posted on

    Hello,

    I'm trying to demo AAP for my org, but I keep running into this error:

    Thanks,

    John...

    TASK [ansible.automation_platform_installer.preflight : Ensure hostname on nodes with receptor installed is not localhost] ***
    fatal: [aap]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The system hostname cannot be localhost, receptor requires it to be set to something other than localhost"}

    Inventory file:

    [automationcontroller]
    aap ansible_connection=local

    /etc/hosts

    127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
    ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
    192.168.52.128 aap
