how to make SSH connection in apache - php

Question

I trying to build a web app to manage my severs using ansible
now I using Centos 7, PHP 7.4,Laravel 8 and apache to build this app and I'm already install https://packagist.org/packages/asm/php-ansible composer package for using ansible inside of my project.
here is my code:
$ansible = new Asm\Ansible\Ansible(
'/var/www/xxx/storage/ansible',
'',
''
);
$ansible->playbook()->play($myplaybookPath)->inventoryFile($myInventoryPath)->execute(function ($type, $buffer) {
if (Process::ERR === $type) {
echo 'ERR > '.$buffer ."<br/>";
} else {
echo 'OUT > '.$buffer."<br/>";
}
});
Here is the output :
OUT > PLAY [install nano] ************************************************************
OUT > TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************
OUT > fatal: [xx.xx.14.139]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).", "unreachable": true}
OUT > PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
OUT > xx.xx.14.139 : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=1 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
OUT >
the username and password in the inventory file is correct and I test it many times also I try with new server with a very simple password.
I google this error host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password)." and I found out its about the authorized_keys for the user that run the ssh
I change the permission and mod of the .ssh folder for my apache user in /var/user/share/httpd/.ssh
buy this error still remain and I don't know how to fix this.
thanks for help
update
it's not about my web server Configuration and everything about apache and PHP is ok.
I run my the playbook directly from terminal using ansible-playbook:
ansible-playbook /var/www/xxx/storage/ansible/playbooks/install_nano -i /var/www/xxx/storage/ansible/inventories/testInventory -vvv
I got the same error and I guess it's about the Auth information in InventoryFile

Here is the inventory file content

ansible_user=root
ansible_password=testPassword
also, I try ansible_ssh_user / password but it's not working!

Answer 1

Here is the solution
I enabled verbose mode in ssh connection and I notice that the outcoming SSH request didn't support Password Authentication.
There are 2 SSH config files /etc/ssh/sshd.conf for the incoming requests and /etc/ssh/ssh.cong for outcoming so I fix the issue from out coming request config file and enable the password authentication.
after that, I set permissions for my apache ssh files like keys and known hosts files.
after that, I create a command in laravel so I can run my ansible playbooks using the root user and Crond.
