Hi @rajkrburnwal,

Thanks for getting in touch. I noticed that the IP's are different from those I provided in the vm lab so I'm guessing that you're using your own environment for this. Would you mind elaborating on the setup that you're using please.

Possibly, there is a variation on the nginx server version/configuration, so the templates being applied may not be working as expected. A 500 Internal Server Error suggests this is.

If you can share details about your setup, we can investigate further.

Thanks

James

actually problem is that I don't have node machine separately. my local vm is control and node machine . Is there any problem with that?

@rajkrburnwal following up on this, the lab in this case, was reliant on the VM's supplied with the lab and the configuration for nginx that was available at the time. I'm guessing, the variance in your setup resulted in a playbook execution that didnt tally up with what was expected. It could be a good exercise to fix the playbook template if you desire. The quick fix however, is to just use the lab vm's.

Closing this issue for now, thanks for your feedback above! 👍

Re-opening this, it should be an enhancement to the course in terms of guidance, when using your own control host there may be differences encountered
