Certbot Not working with CentOS7 and Nginx

[adityaduggal]

Hi,

I just tried installing certbot on my new server which is running centos7 but it seems to be giving me error, can anyone help me rectify the error.

My domain is: www.rigpl.com

I ran this command: yum install certbot-nginx , certbot --nginx

It produced this output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/certbot", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('certbot==0.19.0', 'console_scripts', 'certbot')()

Uninstall v1.22 of urllib3 by using command pip uninstall urllib3

Now Install urllib3 v1.21.1 by using command pip install -Iv https://github.com/shazow/urllib3/archive/1.21.1.tar.gz

Now the problem is gone.
Just answering my question for future reference for others.
