I’m not saying that certbot is impossible with CentOS - don’t get me wrong.
I’m only giving my personal experience here:
I’ve had better luck with ACME.SH than with CERTBOT [on CentOS].
[and as an added benefit - I can now do ALPN renewals]

Also, I notice a lot of Python2 and no Python3 … makes me wonder …

You have a newer version of Certbot and an older version of Certbot’s apache plugin installed.

Can you upgrade all installed packages?

Thanks for replyes

rg305
i am more familiar with cerbot, and i dont want to chage this . to be honest i didint even know about acme.sh , it is a opportunity to learn about it . i will check it to know what it is .
I am 80% sure that , certbot dosent have problem with python 2.7 and more …
Thank

mnordhoff
i would prefer not upgrade all installed package, it is ok if i upgrade only certbots apache plugin ? , also i cant find the way to see the version of this plugin do you know ?
i put bellow my apache --version
/opt/SW/apache/apache_STAGING/bin/apachectl -V
Server version: Apache/2.2.34 (Unix)
Server built: Jul 30 2018 11:38:13

Thanks

Solution :

mnordhoff

You have a newer version of Certbot and an older version of Certbot’s apache plugin installed.
Solution in my case was simple (root)

then i just update the plugin

yum update python2-certbot-apache

and it runs prefect
