I keep seeing deployments fail on the first time with this error:
TASK [edxapp : copy Mongo CA certificate] **************************************
fatal: [...]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "checksum": "...", "failed": true, "msg":
"Destination directory /edx/etc/edxapp does not exist"}
The copy Mongo CA certificates step wants to copy files to /edx/etc/edxapp/, but on the first deploy, only /edx/etc/ already exists. EDXAPP_CFG_DIR seems to be the variable that it uses to construct the certificate file path, so this makes that directory if it doesn't already exist (I can't find anywhere in the playbooks that would create it otherwise, so I'm not sure how this was ever supposed to work).
root/root ownership is from looking at that directory on existing servers.
There might be a better place to put this, but we at least know that it needs to come before the copy Mongo CA certificate task.
