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:demotest.kswift.kerala.gov.in

I ran this command:submit challenge for demotest.kswift.kerala.gov.in

It produced this output: Error: Domain challenge failed.

My web server is (include version):apache

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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):

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

Can you open this URL? It should be a 404.

The validation servers cannot connect and neither can I. Do you restrict connections from outside India, perhaps?

3

site is not opening getting error = Your connection is not private. But it is opening in private mode.
not restricted.

4

yes its getting 404.not restricted outside.

Well, I don't see the 404.

There's a firewall somewhere that prevents me from seeing it. (I'm in Europe)

Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)",

With a timeout, it is unusual to see HTTPS in the acme-challenge URL.

The first request from Let's Encrypt server is a HTTP request. That got to your server correctly and was then redirected to HTTPS. The HTTPS request then times out. Usually with timeout error no requests get through.

I get a timeout trying to connect using HTTP or HTTPS from the USA

If you repeat the request do you see HTTPS or HTTP in the error message?

no errors
