Apache plugin is not working (CentOS 6.7)

Help

Hi all, I am trying to run Certbot on my VPS but it is failing to run. Please see the details below, thanks!

My domain is: africandefenders.org

I ran this command: ./certbot-auto --apache

It produced this output:
root@vps12715 [/var/log/letsencrypt]# ~/certbot-auto --apache

My operating system is (include version): centos-release-6-7.el6.centos.12.3.x86_64

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.23 (Unix)

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Inmotion Hosting

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): n/a

Inmotion Hosting doesn’t allow root shell, in at least my account there. You may actually be in a jailshell for your domain. If so, they’ll have to install the cert quarterly for you.

3

Are you running a VPS or another type of account? I’m not aware that my root access is not full root access - I’ve never been prevented from doing something via root before - installing and running software.

4

I’m not running VPS. So you’re correct.

Now I see in the certbot documentation: “The Apache plugin currently requires a Debian-based OS with augeas version 1.0; this includes Ubuntu 12.04+ and Debian 7+” - so RHEL/CentOS will not be working currently. It would be good if the certbot guide selector would state this.
