Error installing snap

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: edi.atc-apparel.com

I ran this command: sudo snap install core; sudo snap refresh core

It produced this output: error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs": -----
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,

   missing codepage or helper program, or other error

   In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
   dmesg | tail or so.

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS 7.9.2009)

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS

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):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): issue with installing snapd, so can't get to certbot part

This happens sometimes but not much we can do about that.

Try the Snapcraft docs or forum

Or, try using the yum package in Centos 7 for certbot

Or, a different ACME client like acme.sh that is just a shell script

The other thing you might be able to try is the pip installation method.

This is fixed, selinux was blocking it, needed to open up couple of httpd accesses for selinux:

setsebool -P httpd_ssi_exec=1

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1

Hi @jogab, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

You might also look at another ACME client.
Like: acme.sh
