Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?


Now it requires me to choose the domains and the process that follows, but in the end it fails: I'll show you.

If you already have cert(s), then please use:
sudo certbot renew

If you are unsure about what certificate(s) you have, use:
sudo certbot certificates

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: www.********.com
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 2a02:4780:10:4027::1: Invalid response from http://www.*******.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/wlNhskLaE0_3LMUEPtcAcWEPkpraT8hnxYo-v36IjOw: 404

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.

Why are you hiding the domain name?
Does your site work correctly via IPv6?

Okay, am verry sorry.

I concur with Rudy, we need the actual hostname or hostnames for which you're trying to get a certificate for. It's actually mandatory to disclose as also mentioned in the questionnaire mentioned by Bruce earlier.

(Might be some IPv4 vs. IPv6 issue.)

My domain is: http://www.carry.assistanceserves.fr/

My web server is (include version): Ubuntu 22.04 64bit

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

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

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 1.21.0

I'm not English, I'm French and I don't understand English very well, which is why I express myself with the few words I know in English :slight_smile:

I'm really sorry for the late reply.

Hm, interesting. I would have expected your IPv6 not working entirely, but for some reason your IPv6 shows the default nginx welcome page, but your IPv4 is showing a 404 file not found even when simply surfing to your website.

Is your website supposed to be operational? Or is the default nginx welcome page something you'd expect? Or the 404 file not found?

In any case I'd like to see the entire output of the command sudo nginx -T. Please put three backticks (```) before and after (on their own line) the output of that command when posting it here for better readability.

Also interesting is to see that the 404 file not founds for the challenge file differ between IPv4 and IPv6 when looking at the headers. So this leads me to believe either their configuration is completely different in nginx (hence the required output mentioned above) or the servers might be entirely different (but by chance both having nginx 1.18.0 running on Ubuntu).

Your default server is the only one listening on IPv6

You should also listen to IPv6 in this server block

Please like this?

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name carry.assistanceserves.fr www.carry.assistanceserves.fr;

                include proxy_params;
                proxy_pass http://unix:/run/payment.sock;
        }
}

And do I change the IPv6 default mode in the nginx default file?

You're all bosses.
