Re: [ansible-devel] Consider changing the remote tmp path in ansible.cfg to a path rooted in \"/tmp\"

[Jorge Rúa]

I'd say to approach this issue as a problem with the remote_user you're using. So it's worth checking if remote_user has all required privileges to become root.

Another quick test is to set remote_tmp to just /tmp.

Hope that's helpful

Hi fellows,

yesterday I wrote this invontory.yaml file:

all:
  hosts:
    webserver1:
      ansible_host: 37.221.xxx.xxx
    webserver2:
      ansible_host: 202.61.xxx.xxx
    webserver3:
      ansible_host: 202.61.xxx.xxx
    dbserver1:
      ansible_host: 91.132.xxx.xxx
    dbserver2:
      ansible_host: 185.170.xxx.xxx
    vpnserver1:
       ansible_host: 46.38.234.xxx.xxx
    nameserver1:
       ansible_host: 92.60.xxx.xxx
    mailserver1:
       ansible_host: 93.177.xxx.xxx
    mailserver2:
       ansible_host: 185.233.xxx.xxx

 children:
    webservers:
      hosts:
        webserver1: 37.221.xxx.xxx
        webserver2: 202.61.xxx.xxx
        webserver3: 202.61.xxx.xxx
    dbservers:
      dbserver1: 91.132.xxx.xxx
      dbserver2: 185.170.xxx.xxx
    vpnservers:
       vpnserver1: 46.38.xxx.xxx
    mailservers:
       mailserver1: 93.177.xxx.xxx
       mailserver2: 185.233.xxx.xxx
    nameservers:
        nameserver1: 92.60.xxx.xxx  

to test the ansible-navigator. Everything runs fine, but when I try to reach webserver1 like this: ansible -vvv  -i inventory.yaml webserver1 -m setup

I get:

UNREACHABLE! => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "Failed to create temporary directory.In some cases, you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions on the target directory. Consider changing the remote tmp path in ansible.cfg to a path rooted in \"/tmp\", for more error information use -vvv. Failed command was: ( umask 77 && mkdir -p \"` echo /root/.ansible/tmp `\"&& mkdir \"` echo /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1647368810.1744432-79926-217579336494646 `\" && echo ansible-tmp-1647368810.1744432-79926-217579336494646=\"` echo /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1647368810.1744432-79926-217579336494646 `\" ), exited with result 1",
    "unreachable": true
} 

So I changed the the path to  remote tmp_dir in the ansible.cfg several times but it does not work yet.   Has anyone an idea how to fix that? 

Many thanks in advance,

Igor
