Hi,

I have installed ansible on centos 6 and it seems that I am getting the error : state is not legal…

[user@server tasks]$ ansible-playbook -v -i /home/user/ansible/ansible\_hosts /home/user/ansible/amazon\_vpc.yml  
ERROR: state is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler

[user@server tasks]$ cat main.yml

Hi,  
Here you go :

/home/user/ansible/amazon\_vpc.yml

- hosts: localhost  
gather\_facts: true

roles:

/home/user/ansible/roles/load-balancer/tasks/main.yml

You need to indent the task’s parameters:

- ec2\_vpc\_subnet:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;state: present  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vpc\_id: vpc-1dfdf3e  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;az: ap-southeast-1b  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cidr: 10.170.1.0/24  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;resource\_tags: Test
