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:
www.emailingemfasis.es

I ran this command:
certbot-auto renew

It produced this output:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

    Domain: www.emailingemfasis.es
    Type: unauthorized
    Detail: Invalid response from https://www.google.com

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
    contain(s) the right IP address.

My web server is (include version):
Virtual machine on ESXi 6.0
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Debian 8

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Self-hosted

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, I’m using ssh to access the server

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):
certbot 0.40.1

Server has ipv6 disabled in /etc/sysctl.conf

Thanks

Well, http://www.emailingemfasis.es/ does in fact redirect to “https://www.google.com”.

And https://www.emailingemfasis.es/ redirects to “https://www.google.es`”.

Is 62.82.196.167 the correct IP address?

Can you look through your Apache configuration for those redirects?

What was the rest of “certbot renew”'s output?

It redirects on 404 or 403 codes.

I’ll try to disable that and try again.

The rest of the output is:
