Help
#1

Hello ,

first of all I have transferred to namecheap then i hosted it on Google Cloud Console its installed on OpenLiteSpeed server-WordPress and I followed this tutorial to add SSL to my site but the error occurred and I have an A record in Google console with sown-sa.com I can not figure out the issue.

My domain is:sown-sa.com

I ran this command: wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto

It produced this output:
Challenge failed for domain sown-sa.com
http-01 challenge for sown-sa.com
Cleaning up challenges
Some challenges have failed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

    Domain: sown-sa.com

Hi @hanouf

checking that tutorial there is --webroot used. If you have that

not working answer, your webroot may be wrong.

What’s the webroot you have used?

Create the two subdirectories

yourwebroot/.well-known/acme-challenge

there a file (file name 1234), then try to load that file via

http://sown-sa.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234

in your browser. If that doesn’t work, you have selected the wrong webroot.

I did reset the server and reinstalled it with the certificate.

Thanks
