awscrededentials.conf in git, but it's singular on the filesystem

[pcn]

In git, this file exists:

~/dvcs/Priam $ git blame src/main/resources/conf/awscredentials.properties 
52d95031 (Praveen Sadhu 2012-01-27 17:20:57 -0800 1) AWSACCESSID=""
52d95031 (Praveen Sadhu 2012-01-27 17:20:57 -0800 2) AWSKEY=""

However on the filesystem, using that filename gives you an error:

ERROR 17:05:48,759 Exception with credential file 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /etc/awscredential.properties (No such file or directory)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:137)

Is there any reason that the file in git has a different name from the file that should reside on the filesystem?

The problem is when ever you update Priam you will have to update this conf file, it is better to be in /etc...
I understand we need to documented well. Any suggestion to making it explicit is welcomed.

Maybe we're talking about different aspects of this file. I'm not concerned about the fact that this is in /etc, I'm only talking about the fact that this file, when it's in /etc/, is awscredential.conf (singular).

When it's in git, it's called awscredentials.conf (plural, awscredential_S_).

So, if the installation instructions are naively followed and awscredential_s_.conf is copied to /etc, a java.io.FileNotFoundException is raised.

renamed the file in the distro to be awscrendential.properties. This was preferred to changing the name of the file in the code, as there's many deployments that would break.

Now the documentation should match the simple deploy scenario. Thanks
