[ansible-project] ERROR: Invalid ini entry

[Юра Фролов]

I first time configurating ansible. I use ansible-playbook 1.7.2, ubuntu
14.10 (last version in my ubuntu). I am configured playbook and task,
created inventory file.
I started ansible follow command
ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/inventory
/etc/ansible/roles/preconf/tasks/test_new.yml -v --list-hosts --list-tasks

my inventary file

[testserver]

10.95.46.117 ansible_ssh_port=5555 ansible_ssh_host=10.95.46.117
ansible_ssh_us

and receipt error:

ERROR: Invalid ini entry: This - need more than 1 value to unpack

In what my error? What i do wrong?

[Guillaume Querso]

i can't see any value to ansible_ssh_user, if you haven't set one, you
should do it. i don't think ansible_ssh_host is needed because it is
already specified. then, you should set your password and the connection
type:

inventory file:

[testserver]

10.95.46.117

[testserver:vars]

ansible_ssh_port=5555

ansible_connection=YourConnectionType (can be ssh or winrm)

ansible_ssh_user=YourUserName

ansible_ssh_pass=SuperSecretPassword123

then try running: ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/inventory
/etc/ansible/roles/preconf/tasks/test_new.yml -vvvv

hope that helps

I did the settings that you specify. My config file
[testserver]
10.95.46.117

[tesserver:vars]
ansible_ssh_port=5555
ansible_connection=ssh
ansible_ssh_user=user
ansible_ssh_pass=user

and I get the same error

~# ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/inventory
/etc/ansible/roles/preconf/tasks/test_new.yml -vvvv
ERROR: Invalid ini entry: This - need more than 1 value to unpack


In what may be another mistake?

[Юра Фролов]

And one more question. Of what value is said in the error message?

[Guillaume Querso]

can you post a version of your playbook? can you ping the port you are
targeting?

Or you're interested in the content test_new.yml?

Oh, of course, I made a typo. I've corrected the typo. Still getting the

sudo_user:user it is user remote PC or user local PC?

[Guillaume Querso]

As suggested by the documentation (
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html#sudo-user ), i
would say the remote. just to be clear, your remote is a Linux/Unix
machine? double check your indentation in your playbook to be sure nothing
is wrong here.
can you try: ansible 10.95.46.117 -m ping

Maybe consider to upgrade your ansible version (and your ubuntu)
What i don't understand is that you have an error related to syntax while i
can't find anything unusual..

Can you upload your actual inventory file somewhere for us to download and
take a look? I've just tested and one way that error can happen is if
there's trailing, non-ascii whitespace.

[Guillaume Querso]

your inventory seems ok to me, what is your opinion tkuratomi?
have you tried to name your inventory "hosts" and to store it at
/etc/ansible ? so you will not have to make the -i thing when you want to
run your playbook

inventory file

Very first line of this inventory file has:

w This is the default ansible 'hosts' file.

Looks like the "#" was replaced with a "w" at some point. I get the
same error you do until I replace the "w" with a "#".

I did not do it.


Which version is now ansible current version for Ubuntu 14.10? Which
repositories ansible is now available with latest version?

[Юра Фролов]

Are there any fresh ideas? I'm confused, if everything is correct, why does
not work?
Which repository can use for upgrade ansible?
