Challenge failed for domain

Help

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:www.mb-integration.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --webroot

It produced this output:
Waiting for verification...

Hi @buzle, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

This information is important in resolving the problem:

Also, the web server is being hosted by Cloudflare CDN.
[this might be part of the problem - if Cloudflare is not configured properly]

And also, Webuzo claims to handle all things relating to certificates.
So there should be a menu driven path to obtaining a cert.

And also also, I see that you used --webroot but don't really show where you got the path presumably used immediately thereafter.

And also also also, you mention a "Manual says", don't don't provide any information on that:

What manual?
