same error here!
I got the location block from here:
this doesn't work in my config:
server {
server_name domain.it www.domain.it;
listen xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}
server {

# Configuration file for Let's Encrypt ACME Challenge location

# This config enables to access /.well-known/acme-challenge/xxxxxxxxxxx

# This is required by ACME Challenge (webroot authentication).
# You can check that this location is working by placing ping.txt here:

# Rule for legitimate ACME Challenge requests (like /.well-known/acme-challenge/xxxxxxxxx)
# We use ^~ here, so that we don't check other regexes (for speed-up). We actually MUST cancel
# other regex checks, because in our other config files have regex rule that denies access to files with dotted names.
location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
# Set correct content type. According to this:
# https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/using-the-webroot-domain-verification-method/1445/29

# It seems that "text/plain" is a safe option.

# This directory must be the same as in /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini
# as "webroot-path" parameter. Also don't forget to set "authenticator" parameter
# there to "webroot".
# Do NOT use alias, use root! Target directory is located here:
# /var/www/common/letsencrypt/.well-known/acme-challenge/

# Hide /acme-challenge subdirectory and return 404 on all requests.
# It is somewhat more secure than letting Nginx return 403.
# Ending slash is important!
location = /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
return 404;
}
}
it return:
ValueError: Wrote file to /home/domain/public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, but couldn't download http://www.domain.it/.well-known/acme-challenge/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
it works only if I comment the first rewrite:
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
and I put your code on the first server block instead of the second one
this is a test I made that works (same config):
$ curl -I --location http://www.domain.it/.well-known/acme-challenge/test.txt
