Help

Can anyone Help Please.....I am having trouble issuing new certificates, I have treid HTTP manual and am able to access the text file, which means 80 is accessible so why is certbot not having access?
See below for details

My domain is: mattenterprise.ctechn.com

I ran this command: certbot --nginx

It produced this output:
Obtaining a new certificate
Performing the following challenges:
http-01 challenge for mattenterprise.ctechn.com
Waiting for verification...
Cleaning up challenges

Just to add - i can renew current certificate and nginx it listening on 80:

root@rproxy:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# ps auxf | grep nginx
root 26549 0.0 0.0 8900 728 pts/0 S+ 09:42 0:00 _ grep --color=auto nginx
root 1063 0.0 0.3 73520 13544 ? Ss Nov28 0:04 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on;
www-data 26441 0.0 0.2 73760 10804 ? S 09:34 0:00 _ nginx: worker process
www-data 26442 0.0 0.4 73760 17756 ? S 09:34 0:00 _ nginx: worker process

touched nothing , so not sure why its not working now

That seems unlikely, but let's get to the bottom of this.

  1. Please show the vhost server config section that covers "mattenterprise.ctechn.com" for HTTP.
  2. Place a test file A in that root path.
    echo 'test-file-A' > /the/root/path/test-file-A
  3. Please a test file B in the expected challenge folder.
    mkdir /the/root/path/.well-known/
    mkdir /the/root/path/.well-known/acme-challenge/
    echo 'test-file-B' > /the/root/path/.well-known/acme-challenge/test-file-B

Change "/the/root/path/" to the actual root path used (found in #1).
