Certbot creates /.well-known/acme-challenge/kjhkjhkjhkhkjhkjhkhkh but letsencrypt did't find it

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:
sneakerdraws.com

I ran this command:
sudo certbot run -a webroot -i nginx -w /var/www/alexus/data/www/sneakerdraws.com -d sneakerdraws.com -d www.sneakerdraws.com --debug-challenges

It produced this output:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

My web server is (include version):
nginx version: nginx/1.16.1

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
CentOS 7.0
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
i don’t use control panek

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):
certbot 1.0.0

Additional notes:
Whe i run certbot it ask me to press Enter
At this moment i look at /var/www/alexus/data/www/sneakerdraws.com/.well-known/acme-challenge folder and see 2 files with long names created by certbot i think.
These files are readable and accessible from http://sneakerdraws.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/. It means that nginx settings works correctly but it seems that certbot removes these files before checking from http

But when i press Enter it shows me error see above.
It means that nginx settings works correctly but it seems that certbot removes these files before checking from http

Any ideas ?
Thanks

is this an actual directory on your webserver?

look in your nginx server blocks for root /path/to/directory directives:

grep -ir 'root ' /etc/nginx/*

This is the problem. Your domain shows one thing (your website) for its IPv4 address, and another thing (an HTTP 403) for its IPv6 address.

Hi @alexus

there is a check of your domain, one hour old - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=sneakerdraws.com

There you see the problem.

You have ipv4 and ipv6.

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
sneakerdraws.com A 188.225.25.117 St Petersburg/St.-Petersburg/Russia (RU) - TimeWeb Co. LTD Hostname: 294351-cs09873.tmweb.ru yes 1 0
AAAA 2a03:6f00:1::5c35:607d St Petersburg/St.-Petersburg/Russia (RU) - TimeWeb Ltd. yes
www.sneakerdraws.com A 188.225.25.117 St Petersburg/St.-Petersburg/Russia (RU) - TimeWeb Co. LTD Hostname: 294351-cs09873.tmweb.ru yes 1 0
AAAA 2a03:6f00:1::5c35:607d St Petersburg/St.-Petersburg/Russia (RU) - TimeWeb Ltd. yes

But there are different answers.

Looks like your ipv6 doesn't work.

But: You have a new certificate:

CN=sneakerdraws.com
	08.03.2020
	06.06.2020
expires in 82 days	sneakerdraws.com, www.sneakerdraws.com - 2 entries

Why do you want to create one?

What says

nginx -T

May be a Listen [::]:80 is missing.

I’m pretty sure the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses point to different physical servers, so the listen fix isn’t going to work:

$ nc -vvv -4 sneakerdraws.com 22
Connection to sneakerdraws.com 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.4

$ nc -vvv -6 sneakerdraws.com 22
Connection to sneakerdraws.com 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.6.1p1 Ubuntu-2ubuntu2.13

Most probably, you need to just remove the AAAA DNS record.

At a later time, if your new server has an IPv6 address, you can re-add it to your DNS.

Sorry, that's not relevant if there are different machines.

Your ipv6 is wrong. Change it or remove it.

I have removed AAAA DNS record
And all works now
Thanks a lot
