hey,

i have the following directory layout, and its not working:

inventories/
   production/
      hosts               # inventory file for production servers
      group_vars/
         group1.yml       # here we assign variables to particular groups
         group2.yml
      host_vars/
         hostname1.yml    # here we assign variables to particular systems
         hostname2.yml

   staging/
      hosts               # inventory file for staging environment
      group_vars/
         group1.yml       # here we assign variables to particular groups
         group2.yml
      host_vars/
         stagehost1.yml   # here we assign variables to particular systems
         stagehost2.yml

library/
module_utils/
filter_plugins/

site.yml
webservers.yml
dbservers.yml

roles/
    common/
    webtier/
    monitoring/
    fooapp/



i run the command:

ansible-playbook -i inventories site.yml --vault-password-file=/etc/ansible/password-file

and it says:
that is failes to connect with ssh, but i told it in the group1.yml to connect with 443.
i created the group_vars folder where my site,yml is and under that created the all.yml and then it connects but doesnt find all the veriables in the group1.yml.

WHY?

You have 2 group1.yml, I suspect you define the same vars differently
in them, the inventories are additive, not separate, to use them
separate you need to `-i invetnories/production`
