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:cotte.fr
I ran this command: certbot renew
It produced this output:
All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/**.cotte.fr/fullchain.pem (failure)
1 renew failure(s), 0 parse failure(s)
IMPORTANT NOTES:

The following errors were reported by the server:

"WWSw*************" (and 1 more) found at
_acme-challenge.**.cotte.frTo fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address.

Hi guys,
I’m really not an expert with cerbot/letsencrypt stuff so that’d be great if I can get some help please.
The IT guy before me configured certbot and letsencrypt to generate a certificate through our hosting supplier which is Cloudflare.
Until now that did work successfully every 3 months except now. I get a _acme.challenge error and not sure how to fix that.
First thing I did is to check the TXT entry and it’s the exact same one. TTL entry with 2minutes with DNS only option. So that looks good to me.
Also we haven’t made any modification from Cloudflare during the last couple of months.
So why do I get this error message ? I’m bit confused. Does it mean an IP address has been changed somewhere ? How can I check what IP address should reply to certbot ?
Cheers and stay safe at home
