hello,

i'trying to generate a ssl certificate running "certbot --nginx"

My domain is: geotechnicengineering.com

I ran this command:certbot --nginx
It produced this output:

Select the appropriate numbers separated by commas and/or spaces, or leave input
blank to select all options shown (Enter 'c' to cancel): 19

Some challenges have failed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

My web server is (include version): nginx 1.19.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Centos 7

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): Yes
he version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 1.5.0

the following is the content of letsencrypt.log
