Hello, I start this playbook install-mediawiki.yml, the first role is executed without problems. The second role has 4 tasks, executed fully the 2 first of them, but has suddently an issue: the name of the node is not resolved anymore. **I do not know why**. I have installed ansible in a virtual python environment and **defines the inventory so** : (ansible2.7.10) user-ansible@node-manager:~$ cat inventaire.ini [apache] http2 [db] bdd2 /etc/hosts in each node contains this: (ansible2.7.10) user-ansible@node-manager:~$ cat /etc/hosts … 192.168.0.103 http2 192.168.0.104 bdd2 **The SSH connexion works withe key** , the public keys are in the nodes… **Here is a ping test:** (ansible2.7.10) user-ansible@node-manager:~$ ansible -i inventaire.ini all -m ping bdd2 | SUCCESS =\> { “changed”: false, “ping”: “pong” } http2 | SUCCESS =\> { “changed”: false, “ping”: “pong” } **The playbook** : (ansible2.7.10) user-ansible@node-manager:~$ cat install-mediawiki.yml ---

sorry to hear the loop did not help. Generally I believe it is better to reply to the group and not to the correspondent personally (probably not even intended) ---

Hi, Thanks for your help. I changed ‘ **with\_items** ’ for ‘ **loop** ’, as proposed. It does not resolve the issue. By the way ‘with\_items’ works well in another task in another role. **About the indentation** , it is because of the email formating… (sorry) ‘become, become\_user, args, command, run\_once, delegate\_to and with\_items’ **are aligned with** ‘name’ (not with - ) ‘creates and chdir’ **have two more spaces** compared to ‘args’. ---

Hi, thanks. I have searched a lot these past days for a solution. I have installed ansible in another VM, Ubuntu 20.04, as sshpass with apt. I configured everything, so that the first part of network works. I have also this time configured /etc/ansible/hosts, therefor I didn’t use -i inventaire.ini any more in the cli (ad-oc). Before, I didn’t have this file, because I was in a virtual python environment. The result is positive, it works well. I can now access to mediawiki through a web browser 🙂 I will make a try with your proposal, but a bit later. I am a beginner, follow a tutorial and want learn further… Have a nice day.
