[SOLVED] AWS Error Type: client, AWS Error Message: The difference between the request time and the current time is too large.

Our production server was forced to restart and once it was back online we had issues with AWS file uploads and retreival. Getting the error "AWS Error Type: client, AWS Error Message: The difference between the request time and the current time is too large. " to fix this I ran.
date -u
, this will check what the actual date is set at. If incorrect which ours was run.
ntpdate -q 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org
If you get
ntpstat: command not found
then run
yum install ntp ntpdate npt-doc
Re run
ntpdate -q 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org
and now it should all be in sync.
