I have had an issue renewing my cert. Worked fine three months ago. Initial error was indicating an error about no virtual host on port 80. So I created one and now I'm getting the invalid response from .well-known/acme-challenge error. I am not very efficient in Linux so apologies if I don't communicate clearly. I have tried reinstalling packages/updating versions and still get the same error.
If I had to guess, it is something to do with the https redirect, but I am stuck on where to go from here.
My domain is: Piler.bilton.ca
I ran this command: certbot renew
It produced this output:
Domain: piler.bilton.ca
Type: unauthorized
Detail: Invalid response from http://piler.bilton.ca/.well-known/acme-challenge/
My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.6
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):CentOS 7.9.009
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):Console
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):n/a
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you're using Certbot): Certbot 1.11.0

Hi @AMclean and welcome to the LE community forum
Let's start resolving this problem by checking what Apache is configured to do.
Please show the output of:
apachectl -S

When I visit your domain name, I am greeted not by Apache server, but by a Sonicwall server.
Has something gone wrong with your port forwarding?

Hi @AMclean
an Apache?
Checking the not existing file
http://piler.bilton.ca/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234
the answer:
File not found!
The requested URL /.well-known/acme-challenge/1234 was not found on this server.
If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
Error 404
SonicWall Server
Same checking your headers:
Server: SonicWALL
Looks like there answers another instance.

Let me double check. I normally disable HTTP/HTTPS when not renewing cert, so something might be off.

I think I might have made a problem when one didn't exist!
Sonicwall issue fixed! (My PC had cached redirect so was skipping the sonicwall)
Now should I delete the VirtualHost I created on port 80 since it was working before?

After removing the VirtualHost I added and restarting everything renewed fine!
8 hours because I didn't clear my cache so I could see the real issue....
Thanks for the help!
