Description: DO447 - ch03s09 (redhat.com)
<https://role.rhu.redhat.com/rol-rhu/app/courses/do447-2.8/pages/ch03s09>

Under section 5, subsection 5.1, the code reads as follows

# tasks file for apache

- block:
  - name: Ensure httpd packages are installed
    yum:
      name: "{{ item }}"
      state: present*    
    loops:*
      - httpd
      - php
      - git
      - php-mysqlnd
    tags:
      - apache_installer

  - name: Ensure SELinux allows httpd connections to a remote database
    seboolean:
      name: httpd_can_network_connect_db
      state: true
      persistent: true

  - name: Ensure httpd service is started and enabled
    service:
      name: httpd
      state: started
      enabled: true
    become: true

It should be *loop: *, as you can see by all other *loop: *examples in the
code on that page. If you update the lab code with loops:, it produces
the following error as seen in the attached screenshot. If you remove the s
in loops, it runs properly and no error is produced.

Amazing what one errant letter can do, eh? Welcome to IT and programming,
please enjoy your stay.
