I encountered and error with this 'sudo ansible-playbook -i hosts playbook.yml -c local' in Making your own WPEngine-Like High Performance WordPress Server https://zach-adams.com/2015/01/making-high-performance-server/

Please I need assistance as soon as possible as my website is down.

Hi @Curzor,

Sorry for the delay I've been on vacation. If you could please copy/paste the output of the error into a gist or a pastebin I'll take a look!

I'm facing this error:

NO MORE HOSTS LEFT *************************************************************
 [WARNING]: Could not create retry file 'playbook.retry'.         [Errno 2] No
such file or directory: ''

[juanbrujo]

Running: sudo ansible-playbook -i hosts ./playbook.yml -c local works (note the ./ in filepath)

try doing this while logged in as root:

sudo touch ~/.profile

it has worked for me.
