In order to provide help, we will need more information about what is causing that error. Importantly, is this your first attempt to get a certificate or are you attempting renewal.

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.
