Let's Encrypt server has trouble acessing my server

Hi,

I’m trying to issue a certificate as always via the Plesk interface. I tryed it with diffrent domains but it doesen’t work. Here is the output:

Invalid response from https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz/0UxLD8Jyv2p_IlLne8o83hvAyu7SYEL3U6Ik-4vLGH0.
Details:
Type: urn:acme:error:connection
Status: 400
Detail: Fetching http://le-test.bnamic.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/0dfMsnCcSwMdwi-KvUuLvBrhiwxXQKFaXiYLo5cH8K0: Timeout after connect (your server may be slow or overloaded)

I have tryed lots of stuff but it seems like LE has trouble connecting to my server. I have even mounted the server FS on my laptop and ran the certbot client there manually and with diffrent domains. Same error. The Staging server works sometimes and when issuing certs with lot’s of domains not all fail but when retrying diffrent one fail. This has been happening since today when I tryed about 4 hours ago. Before that I have never had a problem. Is there a problem with the LE server?

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you happen to have any firewall / iptables setup to filter http connections?

Thank you

I have checked and I have not blocked any IP in iptables. I have also disabled fail2ban because I thought that could be the problem, too. Still nothing.

Regards

emmm… That’s wierd…

Is there any access logs you could share? (You could just record the time certbot performs validation…)

This is the second case I see that have this issue in the past 2 days…

Thank you

@JuergenAuer Almost the same issue (This one is live…)

It’s a normal 200 OK.

The domain in the first post worked on the 3rd try (it’s just a test). But I still have to create a certificate with 22 domains and it continues to fail. That is the one I also tryed with certbot and mounted FS.

Command:

letsencrypt certonly --webroot -w MondiServer/ -d mondiholiday.de -d www.mondiholiday.de -d alpenblickhotel-oberstaufen.de -d www.alpenblickhotel-oberstaufen.de -d aparthotel-bellevue.at -d www.aparthotel-bellevue.at -d seeblickhotel-grundlsee.at -d www.seeblickhotel-grundlsee.at -d genusshotel-tirolensis.it -d www.genusshotel-tirolensis.it -d alpinhotel-schloesslhof.at -d www.alpinhotel-schloesslhof.at -d alpin-chalet.de -d www.alpin-chalet.de -d bellevuealm.at -d www.bellevuealm.at -d schiefe-alm.at -d www.schiefe-alm.at -d siesta.ferienclub.de -d www.siesta.ferienclub.de -d gastein-lodge.at -d www.gastein-lodge.at --config-dir le_mondi --work-dir le_mondi --logs-dir le_mondi --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

It’s late now. I think I’ll have to go home and try again tomorrow, sadly. I’ll try to answer questions if I can.

So. I tried again this morning via Plesk and it worked. That means there was definitely connectivity issues on the Let’s Encrypt servers. Certbot works too. Same command.
