MYSQL Connectivity Issue in Ansible

[Mona Gopal]

Hello,

I have the below task 

mysql_user: login_user={{ db_user_root }} login_password={{ db_pass_root }} name={{ db_user }} password={{ db_pass }} priv=*.*:ALL,GRANT state=present

We're facing issue on running this, from machine B to install on machine A. Installing from machine A to machine B is running fine.

However, by specifying login_host parameter this works fine.

But, the same parameter is not essential while running from A to B.

What could be the scenario?? why is that login_host parameter is required when running from B to A and not vice versa.

Thanks in advance,

Mona G

I would be guessing, because you do not give enough information.
I presume that your server my.cnf bind only to an IP on machine A, while
machine B has a UNIX socket connection, the default MySQL python module
uses a UNIX socket connection, while you can override that by using the
'login_host' variable and then the module will use a TCP socket
Another possibility is that your user running the Ansible task has a
.my.cnf in $HOME which overrides the default host value, so you need to
specify the correct one manually

However this is a wild guess, for a better answer, more information is
required.

Dear Tosh,

Thanks a lot for your response :)

We are checking on the parameters that you mentioned.

Can  you list out what more information is required for a better analysis of the same.

Well, Ansible log, MySQL logs and configs
I do not think it is actually Ansible.
Remember to sanitized all credentials.
