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: whiteroseholidaypark.co.uk

Hi @tsedgman

your challenge url says, that your server sends a http status 403: Forbidden.

"Invalid response from http://whiteroseholidaypark.co.uk/.well-known/acme-challenge/WqaJWnaLodTwRpPx2oPIJ-ZsBFYGeaRetgeo52hkQrY: \"<html>\\r\\n<head><title>403 Forbidden</title>

So check your directory permissions of /.well-known/acme-challenge/. Create there a file and check, if you can load this file via your browser.

ok, found the problem. it was the NGINX security settings that were preventing it from running
