Doing things as root is not a "solution". To actually check the path and see where it points and change it if it is needed is a solution.

If you get into the habit of doing things as root to "solve" permission problems, you will only end up in trouble.

The file and directory permissions are there for a reason. Trying to write a file to a place where you need to be root is not a trigger to "sudo the problem away", but to actually think about why you want to write the file there.
