Thanks you! The regions advice solved the problem for my friend who was getting the key pair does not exist problem. I am still getting the error:
ERROR:boto:400 Bad Request ERROR:boto:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Response><Errors><Error><Code>InvalidParameterValue</Code><Message>Invalid value 'null' for protocol. VPC security group rules must specify protocols explicitly.</Message></Error></Errors><RequestID>7ff92687-b95a-4a39-94cb-e2d00a6928fd</RequestID></Response> This sounds like it could have to do with the access settings of the security group, but I don't know how to change. Any advice would be much appreciated!
