使用ansible抛出错误来运行php脚本

Question

I am trying to run a php script on a remote server using ansible. Running the script with the ansible user (which ansible uses to login to the server) works perfectly. The ansible task however fails when there are include statements in my php script.

My php script lays in

/srv/project

it tries to include

includes/someLibrary.php

Everything works fine when running the script as any user with the correct access rights but when running it via an ansible task

- name: run script
  shell: 'php /srv/project/script.php'

it fails with:

failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/project/includes/someLibrary.php

Running a very basic php script works nicely though.

I just found the solution to the problem. The problem was that when I executed the script by hand, I connected to the server and cd'd into the /srv/project directory before calling php script.php PHPs include in this case looks in the current directory for the files I want to include. When ansible connects to the server it did not change the directory thus producing the no such file or directory error. The solution to this is simple as the shell module takes a chdir as an argument to change the directory to the one specified before running the command.

My ansible task now looks as follows:

- name: run script
  shell: 'php /srv/project/script.php'
  args:
    chdir: '/srv/project'

Thanks everyone for your help!
