I keep getting this error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/bin/letsencrypt", line 7, in <module>

    from cryptography import x509
ImportError: No module named cryptography

when ever I run the command:

./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone --email <email> -d <domain> -d <sub-domain>

Every guide I follow, I run into this error. I don't know how to get away from this error. I've even tried rm -rf eff.org. I still can't get it working.

I am using Amazon EC2 Linux 1 (Red Hat).

I experienced a similar issue and fixed by installing certbot via pip.

Remove /opt/eff.org/*

Then pip install -U certbot

and certbot commands will work fine.

  • I built a certificate before on the same EC2. Because of that, it seems there are some default options that keep getting loaded whenever I use certbot to upload a new certificate. – Nov Feb 28 '19 at 23:12
