}

sites variable is defined like this:

vars:
sites:

it seems like it doesn’t understand double reference to a variable in cycle like “{{ item }}” “{{ item }}”

what to do?
thanks a lot in advance

- does it work when your block contain a single "{{ item }}" ?
- does it work when you "{{ sites }}" is on the same line as with_items?

It seems like with_items is indented inside blockinfile, it should be at the same level:

  • blockinfile:
    path: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/“{{ item }}”.php.qarea.org.conf
    block: |

    AssignUserId “{{ item }}” “{{ item }}”

    insertbefore:
    with_items: “{{ sites }}”
