# Troubleshooting

### Speeding up repeated runs

Rerunning the install can take a long time. You can speed this up by uncommenting lines in the file `kolla-skip-tags`. Each line corresponds to a tag associated with an ansible task. For example, if the script keeps failing at configuring neutron, then uncomment the lines prior to neutron. Ansible will run the common setup tasks, then skip to the first tag that isn't uncommented.

### Finding out what's failing

Many times a failure is caused by a typo or missing line in defaults.yml or your host configuration. Run `./cc-ansible deploy` with multiple `-v` flags to get line-by-line errors.

For example, on centos8, /etc/modules-load.d may not exist, and you'll get an error like `failed: [shermanm-chibox] (item=ip_vs) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": {"name": "ip_vs"}, "msg": "Destination /etc/modules does not exist !", "rc": 257}`

running it with `-vvv` will show that it first checked for `/etc/modules-load.d` which also didn't exist.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://chameleoncloud.gitbook.io/chi-in-a-box/setup-guides/troubleshooting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
