First: I have gone through all of the steps in your guide.

Second I copied the Access Keys and And access secret to Akeeba. I created a new one and copied that as well. 

I checked or unchecked the mentioned boxes.

cURL is enabled on my host's server

Checked outgoing connections:

Hello John,

Outgoing connections to these two ports are allowed on all our servers. Still, I did the test and confirmed just this: 

Code: topengli@serv01 [~]# host s3.amazonaws.com
s3.amazonaws.com is an alias for s3.geo.amazonaws.com.
s3.geo.amazonaws.com is an alias for s3-1.amazonaws.com.
s3-1.amazonaws.com has address 207.171.163.205

topengli@serv01 [~]# telnet 207.171.163.205 443
Trying 207.171.163.205...
Connected to 207.171.163.205.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit 
Connection closed.

topengli@serv01 [~]# telnet 207.171.163.205 80 
Trying 207.171.163.205...
Connected to 207.171.163.205.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

Make sure you have created your bucket using only lowercase unaccented letters without diacritics and numbers, i.e. a-z and 0-9. If your bucket name contains any other characters –escpecially uppercase characters– it won't work. Check this using the Amazon S3 web interface. Don't check this with an application interfacing Amazon S3. If your bucket does not conform to these naming standards create a new one.

Make sure that your server's time is synchronised with an NTP server. A time drift over 14 minutes will cause the calculated signature to be invalid, exactly as S3 is currently reporting.

Make sure the server time zone is set correctly. For example, a server located in New York must have its timezone set to America/New York. Otherwise a time drift of several hours will occur.

Make sure the system time zone in Joomla! is set to the same timezone as your server.

After you have checked all of the above, please also follow the last three paragraphs of the troubleshooter.
