Certificate Failed

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. crt.sh | 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: documentos.mibodega.com.py

I ran this command: certbot renew -v

It produced this output: C:\Program Files\Certbot>certbot renew -v

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: standalone). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: documentos.mibodega.com.py
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 190.104.168.134: Invalid response from http://documentos.mibodega.com.py/.well-known/acme-challenge/Aa0WK5Tq8AtdGCAR-9cilw7LIvHLZ_7SP-FR3Xx-8mo: 404

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to download the challenge files from the temporary standalone webserver started by Certbot on port 80. Ensure that the listed domains point to this machine and that it can accept inbound connections from the internet.

Hello @Ernesto,

That is one of the hardest options to debug.

Certbot is not advised on Windows.

As Bruce noted, Certbot is no longer supported on Windows.

And, the most recent cert I see for documentos.mibodega.com.py expired Oct23. Now would be a good time to transition to a new ACME Client. The link Bruce provided has suggestions

That said, your nginx server is currently replying to HTTP requests on port 80. For --standalone to work it requires port 80 for itself. You must stop nginx before using --standalone.

The better option is to change to a method which lets nginx keep running. Other ACME Clients allow this too.
