That's what I was saying earlier. Certbot doesn't seem to be using the version of openssl that gets installed with certbot with my package manager (homebrew). But when I tried your command with the newer 1.0.2 openssl, it still failed with the same errors as 0.9.8. But I can try it all again if you want.
Also I am on macOS 10.11.6 and 1.0.2q is the newest openssl available
no dpkg on macos. if you’re asking me to verify in homebrew that i have certbot installed? I certainly do, that’s how i got my cert in the first place. It’s version 0.31.0.
That’s what I have, the homebrew version. And that version doesn’t work either when I try it manually, so I don’t think changing the linking so it uses the homebrew version when you type openssl will get me anywhere? Plus actually replacing the openssl included with the OS won’t be a good solution because next time there’s a security update, it will most likely overwrite those changes and revert me back to whatever it wants. Which is why I’m using the Homebrew version in the first place.
Yes. I have the 0.9.8 that comes with the OS and I have the 1.0.2 that was installed with homebrew. We just tried both versions above, manually, and neither worked.
Note: @rg305 you may not see this but the forum has blocked me from making any new replies for 24 hours because it is the first day of my account (even though I signed up 3 days ago) so I guess i’ll pick this up again tomorrow night. I hope this works.
