There are 2 environment DEV and QA. Both has their own group_vars. Using it, in Dev and QA environment(RHEL/CENTOS) install apache and Dev should run with 80 port and QA should run with 8080 port. Whereas config file location for apache conf is /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and line for port is “Listen 80”. This should be done using template module and zinja2 lib.

#inventory
[dev]
a.a.a.a

[qa]
b.b.b.b
#group_vars/dev
portnum = 80
#group_vars/qa
portnum = 8080
#httpd.conf.j2
...
listen {{ portnum }}
