No module named datetime Error when Autorenew certbot

yuzool · December 30, 2017, 2:01am

Hi Let's Encrypt community, I need some help with auto-renewing my SSL
It's been auto-renewing manually every 90 days for a while but after a server tidy up it seems to be showing some errors now and I can't debug.

My domain is:
https://rwwriter.com

I ran this command:
./certbot-auto renew

It produced this output:

Error: couldn't get currently installed version for /opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/bin/letsencrypt:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/bin/letsencrypt", line 7, in
from certbot.main import main

from acme import jose
File "/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/acme/jose/init.py", line 37, in

from OpenSSL import rand, crypto, SSL
File "/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/crypto.py", line 1, in
import datetime
ImportError: No module named datetime

Then I ran:
python -c 'import datetime; print datetime.datetime.now()'

And it prints the date:

2017-12-29 20:59:01.267586

So it's not a Python thing..

So I tried this:

github.com/certbot/certbot

I moved the let's encrypt folder to let'sencrypt.bak and ran AUTORENEW again and same error...

My web server is (include version):
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
Yes

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Cheers

What happens if you rename or delete the /opt/eff.org/certbot/ directory and run ./certbot-auto renew again? It should make certbot-auto reinstall itself and could fix this.

I tried a server restart and it fails.

Nginx debugger shows:

What does “./certbot-auto certificates” show?

yuzool · December 30, 2017, 5:29am

Just checking the folder has...

It has only:

renewal-hooks

My .bak of that has:

accounts archive csr keys live renewal

So
./certbot-auto certificates

shows:

No certs found.

yuzool · December 30, 2017, 6:06am

I moved the certs back into letsencrypt folder and re-ran the command and boom
Thanks @mnordhoff

Now to sort out the CRON
