error invalid credentials in aws cli

Question

I installed aws cli in my local system and configured credentials in my system. But still I am getting the below error.

$ aws s3 ls
error: invalid credentilas

I cross checked my credentials and there are nothing wrong.

Hi@akhtar,

You may got this error, if your computer's clock is out of sync. You are using valid credentials, but your clock may be out of sync. On Linux or macOS, run date to check the time.

$ date

If your system clock is not correct within a few minutes, use ntpd to sync it.

$ sudo service ntpd stop
$ sudo ntpdate time.nist.gov
$ sudo service ntpd start
$ ntpstat

Hope this will solve your error.
