Certificate renew failed (error 401)

Help

Hi,

I'm a bit lost trying to renew my certificates for my Psono password manager. The rules on the firewall are OK since it's the same one I used to create the initial certificate, but the challenge doesn't go through. Any ideas ?

Thank a lot in advance

My domain is: psono.securikeys-it.com

I ran this command: certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/psono.securikeys-it.com.conf

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
  Domain: psono.securikeys-it.com
  Type:   unauthorized
  Detail: 80.11.67.167: Invalid response from http://psono.securikeys-it.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/z1AwWcTK6pBAvM_EN1JphD9BIYU2lusnEomFp92SeCM: 401

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.

Welcome to the Let's Encrypt Community.

I get the same 401 Unauthorized response using Let's Debug.

Have you examined your server logs to find more information about why you are returning an HTTP 401 response?
