fFailed to verify temporary files,trying for two weeks desparate

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: quantummobileai.com

I ran this command: certbot -v

It produced this output:certbot -v
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?
We recommend selecting either all domains, or all domains in a VirtualHost/server block.

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: quantummobileai.com
Type: unauthorized

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

My web server is (include version):

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Hostinger

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

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 2.11.0

See: Let's Debug

You have both an IPv4 A record and an IPv6 AAAA record in your DNS

But, the IPv6 address points to a Hostinger service not your server. Hostinger creates this AAAA record automatically for new setups.

You need to update the AAAA address or remove it if you do not support IPv6.

Any client trying to use IPv6 will connect to that Hostinger service instead of your server.
Let's Encrypt favors IPv6 when an AAAA record is present.

See Hostinger article here: How to manage AAAA records | Hostinger Help Center
