[SOLVED] Seting Wordpress on Centos7 using ansible

Issue

[☺ first time posting here, I have huge problems with formating so sorry, I really dont understand how to get that code to the grey boxes, sorry!) Hello, so I am supposed to set up a server using Ansible for a high school graduation project. All I have to do is basicaly install a few programs like htop, httpd ..... and finally set up a wordpress server. I am folowing this guide.

Problem is that this code:

---
# tasks file for wp-dependencies
- name: Update packages (this is equivalent to yum update -y)
  yum: name=* state=latest

- name: Install dependencies for WordPress
  yum:
    name:
        - php
        - php-mysql
        - MySQL-python
    state: present

- name: Ensure MariaDB is running (and enable it at boot)
  service: name=mariadb state=started enabled=yes

- name: Copy ~/.my.cnf to nodes
  copy: src=.my.cnf dest=/root/.my.cnf
- name: Create MariaDB database
  mysql_db: name={{ wp_mysql_db }} state=present

- name: Create MariaDB username and password
  mysql_user: login_user=root login_password=root name = {{ wp_mysql_user }} password = {{ wp_mysql_password }}
      priv=*.*:ALL`

Results in this error: 

TASK [wp-dependencies : Create MariaDB username and password] ******************************************
fatal: [192.168.56.101]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "missing required arguments: user"}
        to retry, use: --limit @/home/Admin/wordpress.retry

COuld you tell whats the problem?


Solution

Your task is this:

- name: Create MariaDB username and password
  mysql_user: login_user=root login_password=root name = {{ wp_mysql_user }} password = {{ wp_mysql_password }}
  priv=*.*:ALL`

You have spaces between name and password and the values they are to take. And for safe variable handling you should also place quotation marks (") around the variables.

Try this:

- name: Create MariaDB username and password
  mysql_user: login_user=root login_password=root name="{{ wp_mysql_user }}" password="{{ wp_mysql_password }}" priv=*.*:ALL
