Ansible up and running book - first playbook exampe

[Julien Deloubes]

Hello,
just learning Ansible with Vagrant and the help of the book "Ansible up and running".

I cannot execute the first playbook  in the book i always had a syntax error.
Ansible version: 1.9.1

Playbook :

- name: Configure webserver with nginx
hosts: webservers
sudo: True
tasks:
- name: install nginx
apt: name=nginx update_cache=yes
- name: copy nginx config file
copy: src=files/nginx.conf dest=/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
- name: enable configuration
file: >
dest=/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
src=/etc/nginx/sites-available/default
state=link
- name: copy index.html
template: src=templates/index.html.j2 dest=/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
mode=0644
- name: restart nginx
service: name=nginx state=restarted

Error:
ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, web-notls.yml
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 3, column 2

- name: Configure webserver with nginx
 hosts: webservers
 ^

I couldn't find where the syntax is faulty here, do you have any clues?

Thanks.

Hmm, looks like you have incorrect sequence for your playbook.
There are existing sample you can try from:

I think you just need to line up your whitespace correctly. Indentation level is significant in YAML - have a look at the yaml primer http://docs.ansible.com/YAMLSyntax.htmlor use yamlint if you need to check your playbook.

Hope this helps.
