Solve the ”the config profile could not be found” error?

  • 3

I always encounter the ”the config profile could not be found” error everywhen I want to config something with AWS.

"The config profile (myname) could not be found"

Can someone give me some advice to solve the issue?

Thanks!

    The cause: When you trying to run an AWS CLI command with a profile that isn’t set up in your AWS credentials file will result in this error.

    Solution: To solve the issue, make sure the AWS_PROFILE environment variable is set on the machine and either unset it or set it to a profile that exists in your credentials file.

    Depending on your operating system, use one of the following commands to print the environment variable:

    # Linux and macOS
echo $AWS_PROFILE

# on Windows with CMD
echo %AWS_PROFILE%

# on Windows with PowerShell
echo $Env:AWS_PROFILE
