Challenge failed for domain

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), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
fali.phpadmin.ir

I ran this command:
sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /home/centos/fali.phpadmin.ir/public_html/ -d fali.phpadmin.ir -d www.fali.phpadmin.ir

It produced this output:
Challenge failed for domain www.fali.phpadmin.ir
Challenge failed for domain fali.phpadmin.ir
http-01 challenge for www.fali.phpadmin.ir

My web server is (include version):
nginx

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

Hi @falahatiali

checking your domain there is a wrong certificate ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=fali.phpadmin.ir ):

CN=blog.phpadmin.ir
	11.09.2019
	10.12.2019
expires in 89 days	
blog.phpadmin.ir, www.blog.phpadmin.ir - 2 entries

Looks like the wrong vHost answers.

There is a nginx. What says

nginx -T

The url-check shows the problem.

http://fali.phpadmin.ir/.well-known/acme-challenge/check-your-website-dot-server-daten-dot-de

is redirected to your other domain

https://www.phpadmin.ir/.well-known/acme-challenge/check-your-website-dot-server-daten-dot-de

It's possible to use such a redirect to another domain port 80 or port 443. But then you must use the webroot of your other domain in your command.

Looks like you have changed something.

There is a check of your domain - ~~90 minutes old - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=phpadmin.ir

Checking /.well-known/acme-challenge/random-filename there is content:

Visible Content: خانه تماس 3 حسام موسوی با من تماس بگیر لطفا… 4 ساعت قبل پیمان احمدی من پیامتو دریافت کردم 4 ساعت قبل سارا وکیلی پروژه اتون عالی بود مرسی واقعا 4 ساعت قبل مشاهده همه پیام‌ها 15 15 نوتیفیکیشن 4 پیام جدید 3 دقیقه 8 درخواست دوستی 12 ساعت 3 گزارش جدید 2 روز مشاهده همه نوتیفیکیشن داشبورد خانه صفحه اصلی خطا ERROR بازگشت به صفحه قبل صفحه اصلی CopyLeft © 2018 Ali Falahati .

But checking that url manual now there is the standard nginx 404 answer.

Looks like your Laravel has answered, now your raw server answers.

what should I do. I dont understand?

What’s your complete command you have used?

What says

nginx -T

It says successfull. and there is no problem with nginx. I think it belongs to Laravel. I cant access any files in path .well-known/acme-challenges/…
I think it is for .htaccess or laravel routes :frowning:
