YAML doesn't use an equals sign, instead use a colon:

---
  hostname_name*:* mozzi
  hostname_domain*:* mozzi.mydomain.com

[ansible-project] Re: Setting hostname

[Frank Perks]

Like i said move your ansible-hostname into the roles folder (if you don't 
have one make one). As far as i know ansible only loads roles from the 
roles folder, which is probably your issue.

Also his documentation is wrong, he doesn't use hostname_domain, he 
actually in the code uses hostname_fqdn instead.

[ansible-project] Re: Setting hostname

[Frank Perks]

ansible-hostname is a role, and should be in the roles directory.

Assuming /home/stefaansm/trusty64/Ansible/ is where your playbooks are. 
Then ansible-hostname should be located at 
/home/stefaansm/trusty64/Ansible/roles/ansible-hostname

Okay contents of  ~/trusty64/Ansible
 Ansible
│   ├── ansible-hostname
│   │   ├── defaults
│   │   │   └── main.yml
│   │   ├── LICENSE
│   │   ├── meta
│   │   │   └── main.yml
│   │   ├── README.md
│   │   ├── tasks
│   │   │   └── main.yml
│   │   └── vars
│   │   └── main.yml

│   └── playbook.yml

config in playbook:

- hosts: all
  roles:
- { role: ansible-hostname }

So according to me the role is found and executed correctly, but there is 
something wrong
with the way I specify the hostnames in vars/main.yml.

>From the README.md:

Role Variables
--

 * *hostname_name* - new hostname (not FQDN, before first dot)
 * *hostname_domain* - new domain name

Config in vars/main.yml:

---
# vars file for hostname
  hostname_name = mozzi
  hostname_domain = mozzi.mydomain.com

Error I get:

ERROR: vars from 
'/home/stefaansm/trusty64/Ansible/ansible-hostname/vars/main.yml' are not a 
dict

How do I make this a dict?

Again apologies for such a n00b question.
