Conditional upon variable

[John Oliver]

I tried to:

    command: /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

    when: "{{rc_db_host}}" = "localhost"

Ansible exploded in rage.  I've never sent his much red text, even from python errors :-)  I tried with quotes, without, '=', '=='...   It looks like there's duplication in the error message, too:

ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, roundcube.yml

Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 129, column 28

    command: /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

    when: "{{rc_db_host}}" == "localhost"

                                         ^

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with 

unbalanced quotes.  If starting a value with a quote, make sure the 

line ends with the same set of quotes.  For instance this arbitrary 

example:

    foo: "bad" "wolf"

Could be written as:

    foo: '"bad" "wolf"'

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with

missing quotes.  Always quote template expression brackets when they 

start a value. For instance:            

    with_items:

      - {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

    with_items:

      - "{{ foo }}"

Try something like this:

command: /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
when: rc_db_host == "localhost"

You don't need to use templating in the when clauses.
