AWS SDK Error - Signature not yet current

I'm using the aws-sdk-php, the SesClient specifically, i've deployed an app in a customer server (hosted in DreamHost) and I'm getting this error:

Signature not yet current: 20130909T170846Z is still later than 20130909T170823Z (20130909T170323Z + 5 min.)

I'm guessing the server time is misconfigured, I'm trying to reach DH support to check on that, i bet that will take a while.

Any other ideas? The app has been deployed many times before and i've never seen this error.

I had the similar issue. I was running my CI server from an Ubuntu EC2 instance and that has the time out of sync. I synchronised the time with NTP suing

sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com

It started working fine.
