Renewing certificates failed with urllib2.URLError

[ryanc]

My domain is:
techbrood.com

I ran this command:
/root/certbot-auto renew --no-bootstrap --disable-hook-validation --renew-hook “service httpd reload”
It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

Which version of certbot-auto?

@ryanc

urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:581)

When I run certbot-auto --version, I got the same urllib2 error, my python version is 2.7.

I would try reloading it: https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html#certbot-auto
[maybe in a different directory]
And also check the o/s - make sure it is also up-to-date.

This might help further troubleshoot the issue:

curl -X GET -I https://pypi.python.org
echo "${PIP_INDEX_URL:-url not set}"
