My domain is: [fischereiverein-marchegg.com](http://fischereiverein-marchegg.com)

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

the error message is unclear.

What's the page before?

Looks like you didn't define a certificate name.

Jürgen, thanks for the quick reply! The website was previously installed  
on another server. Lets Encrypt could not be installed there because the  
webspace and domain had different addresses according to the company.  
(See attached error message!) The company has now given us a new web  
space and we have transferred the data there. Now we wanted to install  
Lets Encrypt again via Plesk and it doesn’t work again! What could be  
the cause? Maybe we made too many attempts to install Lets Encrypt on  
the old webspace? I dont know! Jürgen, maybe you can help us and excuse  
my bad english!

Best regards from Austria  
Hofer Kurt

That's a configuration error of your webspace. Your provider must fix that.

Or remove that domain name ws111\*.

`fischereiverein-marchegg.com` has that ip - 138.201.139.33 - so that looks correct.

Yep:

> D:\temp\>nslookup [ws111468.mbmwebhost.net](http://ws111468.mbmwebhost.net).
> 
> Name: [ws111468.mbmwebhost.net](http://ws111468.mbmwebhost.net)  
> Address: 138.201.161.149

That's another ip address, that can't work using http validation -\> configuration error of that domain name `ws111468.mbmwebhost.net`. That's the job of your hoster to fix that, it's their domain name.

Jürgen, thanks for the information! The company has already fixed the  
error and the certificate is running!

Thanks again for your help and kind regards
