Hello

I want to create meta role to setup web site configuration nginx + php-fpm

playbook client.yml:

- roles:

- { role: web-site, sites: '[domain.com](http://domain.com), [domain1.com](http://domain1.com)’, fpm\_pool: ‘domain’ }

- { role: web-site, sites: ‘[site.com](http://site.com), [site1.com](http://site1.com)’, fpm\_pool: ‘site’, www\_dir: ‘web’, memory\_limit: ‘128MB’ }

role/web-site/meta/main.yml:

allow\_duplicates: yes

dependencies:

- { role: php-fpm, pool: “{{ fpm\_pool }}” }

role/php-fpm/

I include web-site role twice but role php-fpm invoked only once . Why ? and how can i invoke php-fpm role twice ?

Add the following to roles/php-fpm/meta/main.yml and that role will be invoked for each dependency

```auto
allow_duplicates: yes

```
