Error: "Sign error, wrong status"

My domain is:
grimstveit.no

I ran this command:
$ /usr/local/sbin/acme.sh --issue -d grimstveit.no -d www.grimstveit.no -d mta-sts.grimstveit.no -w /data/www/docs/www.grimstveit.no

It produced this output:

There is little that we can help you with when the CA in use is not LetsEncrypt.

@jakobbg, @rg305 is correct but I see you have previously been active Lets Encrypt user. The acme.sh client recently changed and it now defaults to using zerossl as CA. You can specify Lets Encrypt as the ACME CA. If you wish to continue with LE, you can look up the command line option you need for acme.sh (I am sorry I dont recall value off-hand).

--set-default-ca   Used with '--server', Set the default CA to use.
                   See: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/Server

Try:
acme.sh --set-default-ca --server letsencrypt
