Note: we already configure ssl on same server for another domain [mspconcepts.com](http://mspconcepts.com).

Please help ASAP help must be appreciated.

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](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:mspsystems.co.uk

I ran this command:./certbot-auto --apache

It produced this output:  
[root@localhost local]# ./certbot-auto --apache  
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Hi @msp1

> My domain is:mspsystems.co.uk

your www - version has ipv4- and ip6 - addresses ( [https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=mspsystems.co.uk](https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=mspsystems.co.uk) ):

| Host | T | IP-Address | is auth. | ∑ Queries | ∑ Timeout |

| | AAAA | 2001:8d8:1000:3096:d0cf:f6eb:5be4:e84a | yes | | |

But your ipv6 doesn't work:

ipv6 + http + www + /.well-known/acme-challenge has a wrong http status 204 fetching an unknown file.

That's critical, Letsencrypt prefers ipv6.

So:

- remove your ipv6 address, recheck your domain, then create a new certificate and install it (ipv4 and ipv6), then fix your ipv6 (or)
- fix your ipv6.

PS: But you use a new Letsencrypt certificate:

```nohighlight
CN=mspsystems.co.uk
	24.04.2019
	23.07.2019
expires in 90 days	mspsystems.co.uk - 1 entry

```

That has only one domain name, so the www version isn't secure. You should create one certificate with both domain names. That's normally easier then having two certificates and two vHosts.
