Welcome to the Let's Encrypt Community :slightly_smiling_face:

I'm seeing some problems with your nameservers.

Hi @pingo-psynergy

if that doesn't work, instead, if this

is the answer, Certbot doesn't understand your vHost config.

What says

apachectl -S

PS: Your name servers are buggy, see https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=pingoo.in

Nameserver Timeout checking Echo Capitalization: 1123.dns4.managedns.org

That will block your CAA - check, if the domain validation has worked.

But it's not your current error message. May be remove (only) the third, not working name server 1123.dns4.managedns.org. You have two other, that's enough.

That may remove the Letsdebug error.

I'm also wondering if your Apache is listening directly (as opposed to behind a reverse proxy, or something), since the server there did not specifically identify itself as Apache.

I wondered the same thing, @schoen. I thought that was odd.

Hi All,

I am using a sprint boot application(which internally installs apache) and haven't configured anything in vhost. But the application is running because I am using iptables to forward requests from 80 to 8080(server port). Is there any other way to deploy it. If yes, Can you please let me know. Thankyou in advance
