Error Renewing Expired Certificate

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: domain.com.br

I ran this command: certbot renew & certbot renew --preferred-challenges http

It produced this output:
ERROR1*
Attempting to renew cert (lab.domain.com.br) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/lab.domain.com.br.conf produced an unexpected error: Failed authorization procedure. lab.domain.com.br (http-01): urn:ietf:params:acme:error:connection :: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: Fetching http://lab.domain.com.br/.well-known/acme-challenge/6886aDHQ2ajgMQIToZqModnrYUNK2_fnFU6fdbn0tg0: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem). Skipping.
All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: No

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 0.22.2

I have the certificate of my site expired to 3 days, tried to use the commands for renewal without success, always with errors. Last time I renovated it worked. I have the 80 port released on my firewall. And the way “.well-known/acme-challenge/1234” accessible by my web, but redirected to HTTPS. Somebody help me?

Sorry for the English I used the translator for not mastering.

Hi @gabrielxbr

what's your domain name?

@JuergenAuer Is it necessary to expose my domain? Sorry about the question.

If you want help, you have to provide your domain name. Otherwise the domain cannot be checked for errors.
