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?
Not sure what you are doing wrong, but I'd suggest bypassing the problem altogether and assigning an EC2 Instance role to the vm in question and then you won't have to worry about it; it's a better/more secure solution.

Just remove 'profile' => 'default', and you should work fine
$client = Route53Client::factory(array(
'region' => 'us-east-1',
'version' => 'latest',
'credentials' => [
'key' => $key,
'secret' => $secret,
]
));
Running on AWS Centos 7, I tried everything (chmod/chown /root /home/user, env, bashrc, etc) to get the /.aws/credentials to work outside the apache /var/www directory. The SDK reported that it could not read the credentials file.
I looked at PHP to see if I could set/override the HOME variable and it still did not read the credentials file until I placed the .aws folder in the '/var/www' folder and set the HOME variable in my php file like so:
<%php
putenv('HOME=/var/www');
//ZIP File SDK Install requires aws-autoloader
require 'aws-autoloader.php'; //Your php code below
Here is what I ended up doing for purposes of this question, although EJ's answer above is actually the right answer. Hopefully this helps someone to get their credentials file to be read:
use Aws\Credentials\CredentialProvider;
use Aws\Route53\Route53Client;
$profile = 'default';
$path = '/var/www/html/.aws/credentials';
$provider = CredentialProvider::ini($profile, $path);
$provider = CredentialProvider::memoize($provider);
$client = Route53Client::factory(array(
'region' => 'us-east-1',
'version' => '2013-04-01',
'credentials' => $provider
));
