Tomcat / Apache playbook

[Mark]

Greetings all,

I'm struggling to find the sollution to this 'problem'.

I've created a role that installs and configures tomcat. After this is complete I'd like the role to update the webservers' /etc/httpd/conf.d/{{ vhost_instance_name }}.conf with the AJP connection strings.

For this I'd probably need a lineinfile and search for the regexp </VirtualHost> and place it before that regexp.

Now the regexp is something I can overcome myself, what I can't seem to solve is how I invoke a task to update the webservers's conf when the role's target is the application server.

Hi Mark,

Why wouldn’t you use a template? 

something like:

</VirutalHost>

{% for host in groups[’tomcat_servers'] %}

ProxyPassReverse {{ hostvars[host]['ansible_eth0']['ipv4']['address'] }}   

{% endfor %}

</VirutalHost>

look at example from the doc

http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html#magic-variables-and-how-to-access-information-about-other-hosts

cheers 

Fred

Hi Fred,

Well I'm not using a template since I've already used a template to configure the vhost when I Installed the apache webserver.

If I create a new vhost with only the proxy pass than it will get full of vhost files very fast, especcialy on a webserver which hosts more then 20 websites.

So that's the reason ;-)

I'm not entirely following why this part is a problem.  Can you elaborate?
