AnsibleUndefinedVariable

[mbettan]

Hello all,

I have following error when I apply playbook for each one

{'msg': "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or more undefined variables: 'http_port' is undefined", 'failed': True}

Could you please explain how to configure those variables ? It would be great to add a note in the readme.

Thanks for help

create a file called main.yml in roles/tomcat/vars and include ' http_port=<port_no.>'

#ansible-pull -d /home/gvenka008c/reponame --key-file=/home/users/rsa.id -U git@github.com:reponame.git playbook.yml

[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available

[root@centos var]# cat main.yml
#re variables related to the Tomcat installation

include : http_port:8080
include : https_port:8443

# This will configure a default manager-gui user:
#
# admin_username: admin
# admin_password: adminsecret
#
[root@centos var]# pwd
/root/ansible-examples/tomcat-standalone/roles/tomcat/var
[root@centos var]#

I created file under create a file called main.yml in roles/tomcat/vars . Please help me to fix this error!

Hi,

I have resolved the issue as below
Steps

1. Create 'vars' directory in roles/tomcat

[root@instance-1 vars]# pwd
/home/user/ansible-tomcat/roles/tomcat/vars

2. Copy the group_vars/tomcat-servers file to /roles/tomcat/vars/main.yml file

[root@instance-1 vars]# cat main.yml 
# Here are variables related to the Tomcat installation

http_port: 8086
https_port: 8443

# This will configure a default manager-gui user:

admin_username: admin
admin_password: adminsecret
