i can't see any value to ansible_ssh_user, if you haven't set one, you should do it. i don't think ansible_ssh_host is needed because it is already specified. then, you should set your password and the connection type:

inventory file:

[testserver]

10.95.46.117 

[testserver:vars]

ansible_ssh_port=5555

ansible_connection=YourConnectionType (can be ssh or winrm)

ansible_ssh_user=YourUserName

ansible_ssh_pass=SuperSecretPassword123

then try running: ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/inventory /etc/ansible/roles/preconf/tasks/test_new.yml -vvvv

hope that helps

[Юра Фролов]

I did the settings that you specify. My config file

[testserver]

10.95.46.117

[tesserver:vars]

ansible_ssh_port=5555

ansible_connection=ssh

ansible_ssh_user=user

ansible_ssh_pass=user

and I get the same error

~# ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/inventory /etc/ansible/roles/preconf/tasks/test_new.yml -vvvv

ERROR: Invalid ini entry: This - need more than 1 value to unpack

In what may be another mistake?

And one more question. Of what value is said in the error message?

[Guillaume Querso]

can you post a version of your playbook? can you ping the port you are targeting? 

[Guillaume Querso]

by the way, you should have [testserver:vars] and not [tesserver:vars]

[Юра Фролов]

Or you're interested in the content test_new.yml?

>by the way, you should have [testserver:vars] and not [tesserver:vars]

Oh, of course, I made a typo. I've corrected the typo. Still getting the error message 

[Guillaume Querso]

i would like to see the content of test_new.yml

sudo_user:user  it is user remote PC or user local PC?

[Guillaume Querso]

As suggested by the documentation ( http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_configuration.html#sudo-user ), i would say the remote. just to be clear, your remote is a Linux/Unix machine? double check your indentation in your playbook to be sure nothing is wrong here. 

can you try: ansible 10.95.46.117 -m ping 

Maybe consider to upgrade your ansible version (and your ubuntu)

What i don't understand is that you have an error related to syntax while i can't find anything unusual.. 

[Toshio Kuratomi]

Can you upload your actual inventory file somewhere for us to download and take a look?  I've just tested and one way that error can happen is if there's trailing, non-ascii whitespace.

inventory file

[Guillaume Querso]

your inventory seems ok to me, what is your opinion tkuratomi? 
have you tried to name your inventory "hosts" and to store it at /etc/ansible ? so you will not have to make the -i thing when you want to run your playbook

[Юра Фролов]

I did not do it.

Which version is now ansible current version for Ubuntu 14.10? Which repositories ansible is now available with latest version?

[Юра Фролов]

Are there any fresh ideas? I'm confused, if everything is correct, why does not work?

Which repository can use for upgrade ansible?

[Martin]

Hi,

* Are your control and target host Linux machines?

* What happens if you remove the ansible.cfg file?

* Try to enable settings line by line to find out what the offending line is

Can you post a complete and repeatable version of your:

* ansible config 

* ansible playbook

* info on the ansible version

* exact command line how you call it

That would make things a lot easier. Maybe use a gist or some public place so that people can try and reproduce?

If you can't publish the exact code try to get it reproduced with some code that can be published

/Martin

Very first line of this inventory file has:

w This is the default ansible 'hosts' file.

Looks like the "#" was replaced with a "w" at some point. I get the
same error you do until I replace the "w" with a "#".

I fixed this error. But now a new error:
