Letsencrypt stuck on old IP

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: jazebeha.com

I ran this command: /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/letsencrypt.sh request jazebeha.com 4096

It produced this output: Error: http://jazebeha.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/letsencrypt_1577883087 is not reachable. Aborting the script.
dig output for jazebeha.com:
104.152.168.14
Please make sure /.well-known alias is setup in WWW server.

My web server is (include version): openlitespeed 1.6

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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): directadmin

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

Hi,
I ran this command: /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/letsencrypt.sh request jazebeha.com 4096
it shows

Error: http://jazebeha.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/letsencrypt_1577883087 is not reachable. Aborting the script.
dig output for jazebeha.com:
104.152.168.14
Please make sure /.well-known alias is setup in WWW server.

The IP shows is for old one. I’ve changed my IP. everything is OK on the domain when I check it for IP.
looks like dig, nslookup, ping all of them shows correct IP.

Hi @mnblab

checking your domain via https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=jazebeha.com

That's your ip:

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
jazebeha.com A 104.140.100.131 Amsterdam/North Holland/Netherlands (NL) - Eonix Corporation No Hostname found yes 1 0
AAAA yes
www.jazebeha.com A 104.140.100.131 Amsterdam/North Holland/Netherlands (NL) - Eonix Corporation No Hostname found yes 1 0
AAAA yes

Is this your old or your new ip? If it is your old ip, change it.

ns1.presslayers.com is one of your name server you have to use.

That's

not an error from Letsencrypt.

Looks like that script does a pre-check and sees the wrong ip.

Ping your own domain name from a shell of that server.
