Failed unauthorization procedure... The client lacks sufficient authorization

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: new.arctic.ac

I ran this command: cerbot --apache

It produced this output:
Failed authorization procedure. new.arctic.ac (http-01): urn:ietf:params:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Invalid response from https://new.aac/.well-known/acme-challenge/KYav-eeXNelZiRv7Vko8nW8U8wnHhc1shrz4iMqq89I/ [46.4.123.233]: " <!doctype html><html lang=“en-US”> \n var require = {\n “ba”: “https://new.arctic.ac/pub/static/fro”

Hi @GaryC

Port 80 is open, http is redirected to https. But your / has a timeout, your /.well-known/acme-challenge answers with a big error page.

There is a

X-Magento-Tags: FPC

header, looks like there is a Magento shop.

Perhaps create an exception, so /.well-known/acme-challenge isn't redirected to https. Then use the webroot authenticator.

certbot run -a webroot -i apache -w yourwebroot -d new.arctic.ac

Or run your current command with the -vvv parameter to see what Certbot is doing.
