Add domain to existing cert failing

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: bitsnbows.com

I ran this command: /opt/letsencrypt/certbot-auto certonly --manual --debug-challenges -d lucidcirc.us,www.lucidcirc.us,lucidcircus.us,www.lucidcircus.us,products.lucidcircus.us,stage.lucidcircus.us,bitsnbows.com,www.bitsnbows.com

It produced this output:

Hi @lkulberda

I didn't checked the other domains. But this domain has ipv4 and ipv6 - addresses https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=bitsnbows.com

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
bitsnbows.com A 45.33.68.15 yes 1 0
AAAA 2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fedb:4999 yes
www.bitsnbows.com A 45.33.68.15 yes 1 0
AAAA yes

And there are different answers and servers:

Your ipv4 has a

Server: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)

your ipv6 a

Server: Apache/2.2.15 (CentOS)

So perhaps this is a server of your hosting or something else.

Perhaps remove the ipv6 address.

@JuergenAuer

Not all names return IPv6 addresses.
Some only have IPv4.
[if that helps any]
