Failing On Acme Challenge

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: tryhomefed.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --manual

It produced this output: Invalid response from http://www.tryhomefed.com

My web server is (include version): heroku

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: google domain

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.37.1

So I have a java spring boot application set up on heroku and I’ve added an html file at that path with the text that was provided to me, but for some reason when I try to hit that path on my domain it redirects to homepage causing this command to fail, when I do it on localhost it works fine, can anyone help?

Hi @shashank90

checking your domain you have a long list of ip addresses. And a long list of wrong redirects - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=tryhomefed.com

http + non-www + /.well-known/acme-challenge/random-filename is redirected to http://www.tryhomefed.com. Check the output, it’s too long to share.

Remove that wrong redirect. Never redirect subfolders to /.
