Server

Hi, I followed @nodakai intructions for Help with certbot on the new "Amazon Linux 2" , but I got a fail in step number 6:

I setup the server and compare the files (diff) and looks fine:

Any advice?

@bmw, I know certbot-auto hasn't been working super-consistently on Amazon Linux, but do you have any theories about the cause of this message?

From the source, certbot-auto trying to run itself with different args. Maybe make sure the directory that certbot-auto is in is in the PATH?

Thanks a lot @markengelhardt, it works !!
