Problems with verification

i am trying to test certificate issue for my domain and using the command

certbot certonly --dry-run --manual -d hostname.domain.co.uk

i then created the path and file as requested, which is accessible via curl and a web browser but certbot fails with a timeout

it gets the right ip from dns according to the log but seemingly doesnt get the file.

Do you have some kind of regional firewall set up? Or perhaps a system such as fail2ban? Or other intrusion detection/blocking system?

Look through /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log. You should see a number of Python code errors due to not finding the Auth plugins in path.

Advise whether Python errors exist in your logs, or alternately if you do not have access to such logs.

thanks for your reply. i have attached a screen shot from the log file showing the errors.
