I am using Vagrant 1.6.5 and trying to deploy to Amazon AWS. I can successfully deploy to DigitalOcean, but with AWS I get the error:
The provider 'aws' could not be found, but was requested to
back the machine 'default'. Please use a provider that
exists.
I have verified that the aws plugin is installed, with
$ vagrant plugin list
vagrant-aws (0.5.0)
vagrant-digitalocean (0.7.0)
vagrant-login (1.0.1, system)
vagrant-share (1.1.1, system)
When I google for this error, the only advice I get is to add
vagrant.require_plugin 'vagrant-aws'
to the start of the Vagrantfile. However this does not fix the error, and vagrant says it is deprecated anyway.
I am really stuck on this, and I don't know what to do next. Below is the full error message, in case it is useful.
Thank you, Jason

Could you share your vagrantfile or link to a gist with it? – Steven Murawski – 2014-09-29T04:49:18.397
Nevermind! I just uninstalled the vagrant-aws plugin and reinstalled it, and now it works. There must have been something wrong with the first installation, I guess. Thanks anyway! – wx13 – 2014-09-29T05:29:08.077
