Hi, Im relatively new to Terraform, I have created an ec2 instance with all required resources (security groups, access keys, etc) using the user data block i installed apache onto my instance and that works fine,
However i am trying to upload some files onto my ec2-instance and than move them to the root folder that apache uses /var/www/html
I am using a file provisioner to copy my files to the /tmp file, (This executes)
however when i am using the remote exec to run some inline commands to move the files into /var/www/html i get an error.
When copy and pasting the same exact code into ec2-instance connect, i succeed and get no errors. Not sure why Terraform isnt recognizing the directory.
Any help would be appreciated, Pics of code and errors are attached. Thanks
user_data = <<-EOF
#!/bin/bash
sudo su
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
EOF
provisioner “file” {
source = “C:/Users/saaed/Desktop/Projects/Terraform/Webpage”
destination = “/tmp”
}
//until this point everything works
provisioner “remote-exec” {
inline = [
“cd …”,
“cd …”,
“cd tmp/Webpage/”,
“sudo mv * /var/www/html/” // This line is causing the error
]
}
