Certificate automation: Let's Encrypt with Certbot on Amazon Linux 2, Enable EPEL error

0

Hi there, I am attempting to finish setting up an EC2 to enable a research tool to be deployed online. I have had troubles with the "Certificate automation: Let's Encrypt with Certbot on Amazon Linux 2" instructions, linked below: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/SSL-on-amazon-linux-2.html#letsencrypt:~:text=Linux%202%20AMI.-,Certificate%20automation%3A%20Let%27s%20Encrypt%20with%20Certbot%20on%20Amazon%20Linux%202,-Warning

I have installed Apache through the following commands:

sudo yum install -y httpd
cd /tmp
sudo wget -O epel.rpm –nv \
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install -y ./epel.rpm
sudo yum install python2-certbot-apache.noarch

I enter the following commands into a .pem bash terminal in vscode:

sudo wget -r --no-parent -A 'epel-release-*.rpm' https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/
sudo rpm -Uvh dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/e/epel-release-*.rpm
sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel*
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum repolist all

When confirming that the EPEL is enabled, my information in vscode differs from what the instructions state. Please view the images below:

Any guidance on where a mistake may have been made, or why i am not able to enable these services would be greatly appreciated!

Many Thanks,

I just ran those same commands (to install EPEL) and this is the output that I get (with an edit to make it fit onscreen):

[ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum repolist all

The AMI I'm running is amzn2-ami-kernel-5.10-hvm-2.0.20230119.1-x86_64-gp2 - which one are you using?
