Each time i run a playbook, it keeps telling me it cant connect to the server using the ssh.
View the print screen please.
I think you have the IP wrong. Which server are you meant to be connecting to?
Hello,
i have this inventory file:
stapp02 ansible_host=172.238.16.204
but the infrastructure detail says:
stapp02 172.16.238.11
but each time i try to ping it, its not available and my playbook cant run.
What am i missing here please?
I still have the same issues.
The IP there is the same i used previously.
App Server 1 in Stratos DC
has:
stapp01 172.16.238.10 stapp01.stratos.xfusioncorp.com tony Ir0nM@n Nautilus App 1
but connection to host ip fails at every attempt
Please share your inventory file.
Playbook.yml…
name: Create file
hosts: server3
tasks:
- name: Creating a file.txt
file:
path: /tmp/file.txt
state: touch
Inventory file:
[server3]
stapp03 ansible_host=172.238.16.12 ansible_user=banner ansible_ssh_common_args=‘-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no’
I have also taken out all the variables and just used the IP alone but still cant connect.
Hi @ngodson,
The correct IP address for the app03 server is 172.16.238.12, not 172.238.16.12.
Regards,
Hello Tej,
This is really frustrating, i’ve ran the same commands in Digital ocean and it works fine but I seem to have a problem with the ssh connection. Everything in the .ssh directory seems fine but its does not connect.
My plabook is correct as well as the inventory, which I have corrected but something seems to be wrong.
Hi @ngodson,
Kindly share your failed task under the ‘Task Review’ page so we can see your work and the task description.
Regards,
Give me 2 minutes to start a new tasks.

You need to add the password of tony’s user in the inventory file.
This is the result:
