Hi @frajavava,

Welcome to the community forum!

How did you install certbot?

What happens when you type which certbot or which certbot-auto ?

Hi @Phil,

Thanks.

Originally with yum install cerbot. It was working fine so far, I guess something happened with the latest software update.

which certbot command respond:
/usr/bin/certbot

which certbot-auto respond:
/usr/bin/which: no certbot-auto in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/usuario/.local/bin:/home/usuario/bin)

Well, i solved this:

I removed certbot
yum remove certobot python2-certbot-apache

And I intsalled with the alternative installation method

wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
sudo mv certbot-auto /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
sudo chown root /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
sudo chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto

And finally I Renewed certificates with
sudo certbot -auto renew

Thanks.
