Can't obtain new certificate

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: fair-pods.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx -d fair-pods.com -d www.fair-pods.com

It produced this output:Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Hi @Is0lated

there is a check of your domain - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=fair-pods.com

First, you use Cloudflare. Sometimes it's better to deactivate Cloudflare, then create a certificate, then reactivate Cloudflare again.

You have redirects http -> https, that's ok. But your non-www + https works, your www + https doesn't work.

If you use nginx as authenticator, normally, the not working https + www shouldn't be relevant.

But your Cloudflare redirects that to https, there it doesn't work.

Try to find your root (in your port 443 vHost). Then use it:

certbot run -a webroot -i nginx -w yourRoot -d fair-pods.com -d www.fair-pods.com

But it may not work because of your not working https + www.
