title: Error creating model version using "gcloud ml-engine versions create"
body: <p>When I create a version of a machine learning model (whether it is my own model or the ML Engine <a href="https://cloud.google.com/ml-engine/docs/tensorflow/getting-started-training-prediction" rel="nofollow noreferrer">census example</a>) using the command:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>gcloud ml-engine versions create v1 \
    --model $MODEL_NAME \
    --origin $MODEL_BINARIES \
    --runtime-version 1.4</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I get an error saying:
  <strong><em>ERROR: (gcloud.ml-engine.versions.create) Failed accessing the model. Please make sure that the Cloud ML Api was enabled recently and retry. If that doesn't resolve this issue, please contact Cloud ML.</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>Things I tried:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Different versions of --runtime-version</li>
  <li>Re-enabled ML Engine API, created models again, created successful jobs multiple times.</li>
  <li>To confirm that it is not an error with my own model, I again implemented the ML engine census <a href="https://cloud.google.com/ml-engine/docs/tensorflow/getting-started-training-prediction" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> from scratch. This <a href="https://cloud.google.com/ml-engine/docs/tensorflow/getting-started-training-prediction" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> had worked perfectly for me when I had tried in Feb 2018.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I still get the same error even for the tutorial.</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers on how to fix this?</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone tried to create model version as shown in the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/ml-engine/docs/tensorflow/getting-started-training-prediction" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> since April 19, 2018?</p>
  
  <p>I'd appreciate your help. </p>
