Got followin

Answer 1

I was trying to use a credentials file and got the same error, this guy on github pretty much nailed it:

The credentials file should be in ini format but not have a .ini extension. It should have a 'default' section defined with your key and secret:

$ less ~/.aws/credentials

[default]
aws_access_key_id = key
aws_secret_access_key = secret

If you specified other section name instead of default, just add a profile key to the S3Client parameters:

[example]
aws_access_key_id = key
aws_secret_access_key = secret

$s3Client = new \Aws\S3\S3Client([
    'version' => '2006-03-01',
    'region' => $yourPreferredRegion,
    'profile' => 'example',
]);

Using a credentials file or environment variables is the recommended way of providing credentials on your own server

And @Anti 's answer also helped me alot!

If you prefer the hard coded way, just follow @shadi 's answer.
