Hi, Probably, the problem is the missing whitespace between the key and the value in the access and secret keys. Cheers ---

Hi, i try with whitespace and without whitespace. The key’s works fine with hybridfox. **On a fresh virtualbox sandbox or AMI sandbox** i follow de instruccion of the driver configuration. > **OpenNebula Configuration** > Uncomment the EC2 IM and VMM drivers from /etc/one/oned.conf file in order to use the driver. > IM\_MAD = [ > name = “ec2”, > executable = “one\_im\_sh”, > arguments = “-c -t 1 -r 0 ec2” ] > VM\_MAD = [ > name = “ec2”, > executable = “one\_vmm\_sh”, > arguments = “-t 15 -r 0 ec2”, > type = “xml” ] > /etc/one/ec2\_driver.conf: > regions: > default: > region\_name: us-east-1 > access\_key\_id: YOUR\_ACCESS\_KEY > secret\_access\_key: YOUR\_SECRET\_ACCESS\_KEY > capacity: > m1.small: 5 > m1.large: 0 > m1.xlarge: 0 > After OpenNebula is restarted, create a new Host that uses the ec2 drivers: > $ onehost create ec2 --im ec2 --vm ec2 --net dummy /var/log/one/oned.log–\> > Monitoring host ec2 (8) > Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: Command execution fail: **/var/lib/one/remotes/im/run\_probes ec2 /var/lib/one//datastores 4124 20 8 ec2** > Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/aws-sdk-resources-2.0.29/lib/aws-sdk-resources.rb:29: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')' (SyntaxError) Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: ...json(definition), source_path: definition) Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: ^ Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/aws-sdk-resources-2.0.29/lib/aws-sdk-resources.rb:44: syntax error, unexpected kEND, expecting $end Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require’ > Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/aws-sdk-2.0.29/lib/aws-sdk.rb:1 > Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: from /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require' Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require’ > Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: from ./…/…/vmm/ec2/ec2\_driver.rb:34 > Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: from ./poll:21:in `require’ > Thu May 14 13:06:58 2015 [Z0][InM][I]: from ./poll:21 Any Idea.

Hi, Probably the problem is that you are using the last version (2) of the aws ruby sdk with ruby 1.8. Could you try removing this gem and installing a version \< 2: [https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-ruby/tree/aws-sdk-v1](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-ruby/tree/aws-sdk-v1) Hope this helps ---
