Certificate status is stuck in FALSE state

Hello, I just setup cert-manager with letsencrypt clusterissuer.
When I tried to create kubernetes ingress, cert was created but in FALSE state and the challenges stuck in PENDING state.

Error from challenges shows: Waiting for http-01 challenge propagation: wrong status code ‘404’, expected ‘200’

This is an error reported by a preflight check inside cert-manager. It does not come from Let's Encrypt.

I think that this should perhaps be filed as a support issue or bug with the cert-manager project.
