Letsencrypt tries to validate a wrong doman name when dash is in domain name

My domain is:

mahariishi-ajurveda.com

I ran this command:

/usr/bin/certbot-auto certonly -d maharishi-ajurveda.com -d www.maharishi-ajurveda.com

It produced this output:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

My web server is (include version):

Nginx 16

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

Centos7

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):

no

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

certbot 1.6.0

Hi @vrgfa

Letsencrypt tries to validate a wrong doman name

you have a redirect to that domain name, so Letsencrypt follows that redirect. Remove that.

Hi @JuergenAuer, thanks for your answer.
Can you help me figure out what kind of redirect it can be?
The web server is not running on the IP of the domain http://maharishi-ajurveda.com/ and I can’t see CNAME rediriects either.
Thanks,
Ferenc

The redirect is reproducible with a simple request:

$ curl -X GET -I maharishi-ajurveda.com
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 11:51:32 GMT
Server: Apache
Location: http://maharishiajurveda.com/

Note that the redirect Location is missing the dash.

Hi @JuergenAuer,
Thanks for you answer again.
I am still confused on what is happening, I tried to provide as elaborate logging as possible
I would appreciate if you would look at the issue agian.
Thanks in advance.

When I run
curl -X GET -I maharishi-ajurveda.com -v

I get this response

Which means maharishi-ajurveda.com is resolved to 193.91.67.242 and no webserver is running there

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

    Domain: maharishi-ajurveda.com
    Type: unauthorized
    Detail: Invalid response from https://maharishiajurveda.com/
    [52.209.3.224]: “\n\n<!–[i”

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
    contain(s) the right IP address.

That's wrong. You have ipv4 and ipv6, your ipv4 doesn't answer, your ipv6 answers.

But your local ipv6 doesn't work, so you don't see that.

Thanks, @JuergenAuer,
the solution was that the domain had an AAAA record for ipv6 and it pointed to an old server that still had the redirection in place.
Deleting the AAAA record solved the issue, we have the Letsencrypt certificate
Thank you!
