Error renewing or creating a certificate

My domain is:portalamef.mastercomputers.ro

It produced this output:

own/acme-challenge/hot6vQB4vFfI016Kxtx4oypp6bITN5EGNKzZR8I0xvA [86.120.69.43]:

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: selfhosting

Hi @dragos.anastasiu

checking your domain there is a http status 500 - Internal Server error ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=portalamef.mastercomputers.ro ):

Visible Content: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator at [no address given] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) Server at portalamef.mastercomputers.ro Port 80

And it's not an IIS, it's an Apache.

The ip address

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
portalamef.mastercomputers.ro A 86.120.69.43 Bucharest/Bucureşti/Romania (RO) - RDSNET Hostname: 86-120-69-43.rdsnet.ro yes 1 0
AAAA yes

is the same.

Is this a home server? With a wrong port forwarding?

If you use a Windows-client, that may not work with your Apache.

Indeed, it seems there was a problem with the forwarding of port 80. I was only checking from inside the network, that’s why I didn’t notice the fault.

Thank you!
