Error whyle trying to install Cerbot for the Nginx

Hi Seth,
Reading through this thread it appears that Certbot cannot be used to issue wildcard certs on a Apache Centos 6.6 environment, compared to Apache Centos 7.x?
We have installed LE on centos 7. with wildcard and works well.

Now we have to install on Centos 6.

Am ok to install using the manual process - not that clear on this page as the commands for Centos 7 are different

Can you suggest best method, is it using the acme.sh option ?
or is it certbot-auto using these instructions ? https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html#certbot-auto

Thanks
Peter

I believe that on CentOS 6 you’re not currently going to get a new enough version of Certbot to be capable of issuing wildcards, so certbot-auto could be a better choice because it will always install the latest release. acme.sh or certbot-auto may both be reasonable choices—maybe the best thing to look at would be your DNS environment in order to ensure that you have compatibility between your DNS environment and the client that you use.

RIght now it’s somewhat difficult or inconvenient to install DNS plugins with certbot-auto, so you might not be able to take advantage of some of the DNS integration automation that’s been implemented. By contrast, acme.sh always has all of its DNS integrations available no matter how you install it, so that’s a definite point in favor of acme.sh in this context!
