I have a domain name epotala.com. It is linked with a cPanel - shared hosting (linux).
I did follow all the necessary steps and generate two challenge files and uploaded it to public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge/challege file 1 & 2.
However, when I click to verify it, instead of showing the content of the challenge file in browser like it is shown on document and many other tutorials, it gets automatically downloaded.
I tried to google and search many other resources, but gone in vain…
Indeed, all the documentation and tutorials mentioned the same thing but I couldn’t resolve the issue. By the way, I am testing from google chrome as well as firefox.
One article, mentions that I need to wait few hours, to check whether it is a cache retain issue… I think this is the only option I have left with, as for the moment
However, thank you very much for your time… Please leave me message provided you find anything related with the issue…
What Let’s Encrypt client are you using (that you got the challenge file names from), and what happened when you told it to continue with the certificate request?
