An error occurred creating certificates with Let's Encrypt

Hello, I am a user who is using wordpress hosted by aws in Korea.
I don't have much information in Korea, so I googled and find the site and post questions.
Thank you.

My domain is: track9film.kr

I ran this command: sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool

It produced this output: An error occurred creating certificates with Let's Encrypt:

2024/03/09 12:43:57 [INFO] [track9film.kr, www.track9film.kr] acme: Obtaining

many failed authorizations recently: see

My web server is (include version): aws

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): WordPress

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: was

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

that just means you made too much failed recently. you'd need to look at older log to see what actually happened or wait an hour without requesting

Thank you for your answer!!

It's already been 3 days and I tried it again today
Is there any other problem?
Wouldn't it be a problem that I was originally using this domain on another webbuilder, then disconnecting and connecting to WordPress?

Yes, the actual problem which is preventing you from getting a certificate which leads to this "too many failed authz recently" error.

If you don't get the actual error if you've waited for at least one hour, there might be another instance of the bncert-tool active regularly trying and failing.

looks like verifier can't access your website: do you running geo-firewall?
(or some other filter like user-agent based)

add: main site connects but that path timeouts: it implies some kind of broken reverse proxy /firewall in front if it:

I'm not sure about that. I'm not familiar with the field, so I've been searching for blogs.

Are you talking about the firewall on your computer? Are you talking about the domain?

So what should I check?

you have two A record 43.203.68.192 and 54.180.62.28
but first one doesn't reply: and if any one of 3 LE verifier server selects it it'd fail
remove IP 43.203.xx from your DNS

It's such a lame question, but do I have to ask where I buy the domain to clear that Ip from dns?

Well, you'd ask whoever hosts your DNS. It looks like that's also with AWS.

Regarding your DNS, you are using AWS so you probably setup your DNS for this domain using AWS Route 53 (or someone did it for you).

As @orangepizza mentioned your track9film.kr domain points to two IP addresses and normally that would just be one IP. In addition you don't have a DNS record for www so www.track9film.kr doesn't resolve to an IP address. You either need to add an A recording pointing to the correct IP address or add a CNAME record pointing to track9film.kr. You will not be able to order your certificate from Let's Encrypt using HTTP validation until you resolve these issues.
