Error trying to get a certificate

Help
1

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: git.gisella-music.com

I ran this command: certbot certonly --standalone -d git.gisella-musico.com

It produced this output:

[root@intraput conf.d]# certbot certonly --standalone -d git.gisella-music.com

The name has two IPs:

Name:      git.gisella-music.com
Addresses: 9f93:8978:eeca:5487:799d:3121:1c96:f6bd
           95.216.214.123

Neither of which appears to be open via HTTP:

curl -4 http://git.gisella-music.com/
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

curl -6 http://git.gisella-music.com/
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

HTTP access is required to validate the certificate request [when using HTTP-01 authentication].

@rg305 thank you... wel I must say it was a bit silly of me not thinking about that, as I work on several VPSs I thould port 80 would be open but it was not so now I opened the port and create the certs with no problems.
