Remote host throwing error saying Permission Denied - Ansible

Question

I'm trying to sun something from my remote host but it throws the following error:

"/usr/bin/python: can't open file '/home/ludd/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1466162346.37-16304304631529/zypper'

Why do i get this error and how do I solve it?

Obvious solution:

run this command as a root user with sudo permissions

Ofcourse I've already tried this but no luck.

Hey @Patrick,

Change the path of Ansible's remote_tmp directory in the configuration file.

Something like this:

/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
remote_tmp      = /tmp/${USER}/ansible

This should, hope it helps:)
