Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better.

My domain is: torqcart.net

I ran this command: sudo ./certbot-auto renew --pre-hook “service apache2 stop” --post-hook “service apache2 start”

It produced this output:
Error: couldn’t get currently installed version for /home/ubuntu/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt:

import datetime
ImportError: No module named datetime

My web server is (include version): Apache2

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 16 (Upgraded from 14)

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

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): No

Your python installation is broken, or possibly the virtualenv certbot creates.

What happens when you run:

python -c 'import datetime; print datetime.datetime.now()'

Do you get the ImportError quoted above, or does it print the date and time?

So your python is fine. Something weird happened with certbot’s virtualenv, possibly when you upgraded, which isn’t so bad.

If you delete or move certbot’s files somewhere else, e.g.:

mv /home/ubuntu/.local/share/letsencrypt /home/ubuntu/.local/share/letsencrypt.bak

and rerun certbot-auto it will reinstall everything, hopefully in working order.

It worked… thanks.
