Hi,
In order to fix this I had to do (3) things.
-
I made sure that the json file I had locally was the exact version I had on my AWS host. I did this my uploading the file directly, not cutting and pasting the text.
-
I re calculated the hash of the metadata file.
-
Built a new transaction using the new hash and submitted it.
— Those are the steps that worked for me.
However I did hear of someone having their text editor insert crazy characters in the json file that ended up giving them this grief as well.
