Based on this beauty:
https://coderwall.com/p/lxchtg
I worked around it with:
```
- name: Check the apache configuration
command: apachectl -t
register: apache_result
ignore_errors: yes
tags: httpd
- name: Ending playbook
action: fail msg="Apache configuration is invalid. Please check before
re-running the playbook."
when: apache_result|failed
tags: httpd
```
right after placing the vhosts config file.
Thanks!
