i copied a private AMI (lamp) over from a different account and created a new instance on ec2. the new instance has a new.pem key associated with it and i can see the title from AWS Management Console: Key Pair Name.
I've created a new.ppk file from new.pem. However when i log in SSH the new key does not work and the old.ppk key still seems to work.
how can i fix this?
would like to get rid of the old key and set new.ppk to be valid
should i follow this?

saw this article

but found it confusing, it talks about logging in as root while also saying to disable root login

Just remove the old key from '~/.ssh/authorized_keys' and paste in the new public key. Make sure the new key is in OpenSSH format and all on one line.

yes, what messed me up was that it seems to need 2 entries ... maybe its just my instance thats weird– t qMar 11, 2012 at 3:56
