AWS CLI eb create error LargeZipFile

Question

Getting the following error when trying to create an environment in AWS using eb create:

$ eb create django-env

Creating application version archive "app-XXXXXX_XXXXXX". ERROR: LargeZipFile :: Filesize would require ZIP64 extensions

Answer 1

When you use eb commands, it first tries to create the zip file using the contents of your git repository (if I remember correctly with git ls-files ), then if it doesn't find one, send the contents of the folder. Try:

• creating a new folder

• copy your code

• git init

• git commit

and then

• eb create django-dev
