Issue creating cluster

[garnaout]

I get the folllowing error when I try to create an EBS vol using starcluster. Even when creating the volume outside starcluster, I still get the same error when I try to create the cluster after

!!!

note that the initial error (that I have never seen before) was that "NO KEY PAIR WAS SPECIFIED - USING Keypair form config ERROR - no keypairs found in regio us-east-1"

I got rid of that by adding my [aws info] in the config

@garnaout That initial error would be solved by adding a [keypair] section not [aws info]. The error you pasted above indicates boto can't connect to AWS (ie it times out while trying to connect). Double check your internet connection and firewall. Also, what region are you using? Have you tried switching regions to see if you get the same error?
