Error: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Tried to run goofys from command line and had this issue. Ideas?

# ./bin/goofys -f --region us-east-1 bucket-test /mnt/bucket-test/

Is the bucket name actually bucket-test? I correctly got a 403 when I tried to use goofys to access that bucket and didn't get a certificate problem. Do you have other proxies between you and S3?

[bateller]

No its a different bucket name. No proxies. EC2 instance running CentOS 5.x AMI at AWS us-east-1

I am not able to reproduce this problem with Centos 5.4 x6_64 HVM (ami-0053dd30). What happens if you do something like:

curl -I https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket-test
