Hi,

I am trying to configure an existing S3 bucket as a website bucket.  
My playbook contains 2 simple tasks straight from the example page:  
…

tasks:

- name: Create AWS S3  
s3\_bucket:  
name: bernd-blue  
region: ap-southeast-1  
aws\_access\_key: “{{ AWS\_ACCESS\_KEY\_ID }}”  
aws\_secret\_key: “{{ AWS\_SECRET\_ACCESS\_KEY }}”
- name: Configure bucket as a website  
s3\_website:  
name: bernd-blue  
region: ap-southeast-1  
state: present  
aws\_access\_key: “{{ AWS\_ACCESS\_KEY\_ID }}”  
aws\_secret\_key: “{{ AWS\_SECRET\_ACCESS\_KEY }}”

…  
The first task executes successfully, while the second one fails with:

The full traceback is:  
Traceback (most recent call last):

…  
If I run ansible-playbook with ‘sudo’ it succeeds.

Does anybody encountered that error as well?  
What do I have to do to fix that?

Thank you for any help.
