Hi,

I am trying to incorporate mysql secure installation using Ansible 
playbook. I followed the below links.

1. 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16444306/ansible-idempotent-mysql-installation-playbook
2. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-project/-jSfGwpk5J8

Target Server - Amazon Linux AMI(YUM based distro)

My Playbook looks like this.

---

- name: Install mysql using yum
  action: yum pkg={{item}} state=latest
  with_items:
      - MySQL-python
      - mysql
      - mysql-server
    
- name: Start the mysql server
  service: name=mysqld state=running enabled=yes

- name: copy .my.cnf file with root password credentials

  template: src=my.cnf.j2 dest=/root/.my.cnf owner=root mode=0600


# 'localhost' needs to be the last item for idempotency, see
# http://ansible.cc/docs/modules.html#mysql-user
- name: update mysql root password for all root accounts
  mysql_user: name=root host={{ item }} password={{ mysql_root_password }}
  with_items:
    - '{{ ansible_hostname }}'
     - 127.0.0.1
      - ::1
      - localhost

- name: delete anonymous MySQL server user for $server_hostname
  action: mysql_user user="" host="$server_hostname" state="absent"

- name: delete anonymous MySQL server user for localhost
  action: mysql_user user="" state="absent"

- name: remove the MySQL test database
  action: mysql_db db=test state=absent

My cnf file is -

$cat roles/database/templates/.my.cnf.j2
[client] user=root password={{ mysql_root_password }}



and My variable file is -

$cat roles/database/vars/main.yml
user: root mysql_root_password: *******


But when I run the playbook, I am getting the following error.

msg: unable to connect to database, check login_user and login_password are 
correct or ~/.my.cnf has the credentials 

I am doing exactly the same as mentioned in the above 2 links. I even tried 
to perform the conf file copy task before root password change task. But I 
am still unable to run it successfully.


I would really appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks,
Chinmaya
