Failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot

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. crt.sh | 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: api.factory.soluperts.com

I ran this command:

It produced this output: Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: api.factory.soluperts.com
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 35.154.126.185: Invalid response from http://api.factory.soluperts.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/3r2i9EDHPObdzFuMWcpXXzPiXzX1JZRcNviY6tUS2tE: 404

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.

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

Hello @satsin06, welcome to the Let's Encrypt community. :slightly_smiling_face:

Please show:

I believe the
Web server is nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu)
The operating system is Ubuntu version unknown
the ACME Client: Certbot what version? (i.e. the output of certbot --version)
and as long as you are there show the output of sudo certbot certificates (not much expected if no certificate has been issued ever).

$ curl -Ii http://api.factory.soluperts.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/sometestfile
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu)

Please show the output of sudo nginx -T; that is a Capital T
