Lets Encrypt in cPanel is throwing errors

I have a domain on my cPanel server which is throwing error when i click Lets Encrypt app within cPanel. When i click it it throws this error
There was a problem processing your request

  • Error fetching installed ssl certs
  • Unable to retrieve the installed hosts:

This doesn't happen for other domain just this one is giving problems so i am wondering if something went off for Lets Encrypt for this single domain.

My domain is:
kitotkara.com

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):
Apache/2.4.65 (cPanel)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
CentOS v7.9.2009

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
LagoonSpace Web Solutions

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):
cPanel 110.0.77

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

In short, I think your hosting provider support is a better choice for this problem.

All the errors relate to "local" items which indicate a problem with your cPanel configuration. I don't see that your system has made any requests to Let's Encrypt yet because of those problems.

There were often multiple errors of these same types
