Failed to renew SSL due to Failed authorization procedure

Help
1

Hello all,
I have a problem with renew letsencrypt ssl.
3 Months ago, at the first time I created ssl for my domain forestlink.net successfully.
But now I failed to renew. I ran the command /usr/bin/letsencrypt renew
and it returned:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer None
Starting new HTTPS connection (1): acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…

Failed authorization procedure. forestlink.net (http-01): urn:acme:error:connection :: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: Fetching https://forestlink.vn/.well-known/acme-challenge/UNpIgx-FfpduK2V4Y2rE_p4dBkKDe5rVFx6KwNLuou4: dns :: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for forestlink.vn, www.forestlink.net (http-01): urn:acme:error:connection :: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: Fetching https://forestlink.vn/.well-known/acme-challenge/kNZdwiP3KtbxWU6kwe0ms9mbmMdLYR2vD_9iMxZ35Ok: dns :: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for forestlink.vn

I don’t know why the script always checks https://forestlink.vn/.well-known/… instead of forestlink.net.
So, I can’t verify my domain anymore. I have checked my DNS settings on Cpanel, I’m sure there is nothing for forestlink.vn.
Please help me.
Thank you all in advance!

When I surf to your site, I too am redirected to the .vn top level domain.

Your HTTP -> HTTPS redirect seems to be broken. Did you set that redirect up yourself?

Hi @phuclv

looks like you have fixed the wrong redirect. There is a new check of your domain, 6 minutes old ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=forestlink.net ):

Now you have correct redirects http -> https.

Oh, my browser sees a new certificate, so it had worked :wink:
