Hi ,

I am new to this Ansible.

I was gone through the first step, and got the below update.

sudo easy_install pip
Searching for pip
Best match: pip 8.1.2
Processing pip-8.1.2-py2.7.egg
pip 8.1.2 is already the active version in easy-install.pth
Installing pip script to /usr/local/bin
Installing pip2.7 script to /usr/local/bin
Installing pip2 script to /usr/local/bin

Using /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-8.1.2-py2.7.egg
Processing dependencies for pip
Finished processing dependencies for pip

I was gone through the second step, and gone through the below error. Can you help on fixing this.

sudo pip install ansible

This is how I setup Ansible on a vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 box:

i also got errors doing this as root. heres how i do it as a user in os x.
you might need developers tools for some of ansibles dependencies.

make sure ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin is in your path.

easy_install --user pip
pip install --user cryptography
pip install --user ansible

Hi,

Thanks to all.

I created the setup of “vagrant with cent OS”.

When I do configuration, I could see the below error after done with “ping” command.


[root@localhost ansible]# ansible example -m ping -u vagrant
localhost | UNREACHABLE! => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh.",
    "unreachable": true
}
[root@localhost ansible]#

My configuration file is like this:

## db-[99:101]-node.example.com
[example]
localhost

and my hostname is like this

[root@localhost ansible]# hostname
localhost.localdomain
[root@localhost ansible]#

Can you help me on fixing this. What are the steps required to finish this.

sounds like a vagrant issue. ask here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!forum/vagrant-up

But this is the way we have to give hostname?

Localhost will work regardless of the actual name of the computer you’re running on, it’s literally 127.0.0.1.
If you have trying to do something against a node which is not the node you’re running ansible from, you shouldn’t name that node localhost.

Hi

I fixed it on my own.

I have to give the user name, and that will work. Thanks all.


[root@localhost ~]# ansible all -m ping -s -k -u vagrant
SSH password:
127.0.0.1 | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
[root@localhost ~]#
