Hi Guys.

I am trying to configure the Apache webserver to remote systems using Ansible-Playbook. So I need to create a folder for the home directory. How can I create a folder in a remote system from Ansible code?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the file module in your Ansible-Playbook. This allows to create a directory in your remote system. You can use the below code in your playbook.

 - name: Document root creation
    file:
      state: directory
      dest: "{{ document_dir }}"
    tags: web
    register: y
