Hello, I am trying to deploying wordpress using Ansible for first time. I installed LAMP on my remote server using Ansible but there was a syntax error while I was trying to install wordpress. it shows–

The error appears to have been in ‘/home/nxadmin/wordpress-ansible/roles/wordpress/tasks/main.yml’: line 2, column 36, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

Hello, I am trying to deploying wordpress using Ansible for first time. I
installed LAMP on my remote server using Ansible but there was a syntax
error while I was trying to install wordpress. it shows--

The error appears to have been in
'/home/nxadmin/wordpress-ansible/roles/wordpress/tasks/main.yml': line 2,
column 36, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

---
- name: Download WordPress get_url:
                                   ^ here

My script for deploying Word Press in roles/wordpress/tasks/main.yml are-

---
- name: Download WordPress get_url:
    url=https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
    dest=/tmp/wordpress.tar.gz
    validate_certs=no

The module name, get_url, must be on the next line, and not on the same line as - name:.
- name: Download WordPress
   get_url:
     url=https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
     dest=/tmp/wordpress.tar.gz
     validate_certs=no

- name: Extract WordPress unarchive= src=/tmp/wordpress.tar.gz
dest=/var/www/ copy=no
  sudo: yes

The same goes for this one, unarchive: must be on the next line.
And you need to use a colon and not a equal sign after the module name.

Thank you for helping me I tried that solution but now it is showing syntax error on different module

The offending line appears to be:

  • name: Update default Apache site
    ^ here

Can you please check the whole script and tell me all the mistakes I have been done in this. It would be very thankful

Thank you

I did an corrected them all except for sudo: that should be become:, but sudo will work, you just get a deprecation message.
You have probably introduced new ones, so without the new code it's difficult to see what's wrong now.
But your code should look like this now.
