Cannot read credentials from /.aws/credentials - PHP script call AWS-SDK

Question

I've looked at every answer on here and it seems my problem is a little different or there hasn't been a proper solution. I'm doing the following in my PHP file:

use Aws\Route53\Route53Client;

$client = Route53Client::factory(array(
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-east-1',
    'version' => '2013-04-01'
));

Getting this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Aws\Exception\CredentialsException: Cannot read credentials from /.aws/credentials

Seems like the easy fix would be ensure that the HOME directory is the right one. Indeed it already is. Files are readable and my ec2-user is already the owner. Key and Secret is already installed in the 'credentials' file. Profile name is already set to 'default.' Tried to copy /.aws to other directories such as the root, /home, etc and changed permissions, chmod, all the above. Still nothing.

Then I tried to hard-code the credentials (I know -- not recommended) just to give it a little kick, and it completely ignores that I did this:

$client = Route53Client::factory(array(
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-east-1',
    'version' => '2013-04-01',
    'credentials' => [
            'key' => $key,
            'secret' => $secret,
    ]
));

As a last resort, I even tried including the CredentialProvider class, and passing this into my array -- still nothing:

'credentials' => CredentialProvider::ini('default', '/home/ec2-user/.aws/credentials'),

What on earth am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Just remove 'profile' => 'default', and you should work fine

$client = Route53Client::factory(array(
  'region' => 'us-east-1',
  'version' => 'latest',
  'credentials' => [
        'key' => $key,
        'secret' => $secret,
  ]
));
