Comments:
I tried placing a test.txt file in /var/www/classicalconversationsplus/.well-known/acme-challenge/ and I can access this file from out of the network of server.
I can actually access the test.txt file with HTTPS Port 443
$ curl https://classicalconversationsplus.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/test.txt
this is test
However not with HTTP Port 80.
$ curl http://classicalconversationsplus.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/test.txt

Uch, for some reason I had the ":" behind "test.txt", so obviously that wouldn't work. Not sure where it came from
Although if I replicate Bruce's HTTP attempt without the :, which resulted in a 404 for Bruce, it does work for me now. So something has changed.
Then I don't understand why the challenge fails. The debug log from OpenLiteSpeed should shed more light on the reason why OpenLiteSpeed thinks it can't find the file.. I hope.
As I said, I run OpenLiteSpeed web server, the problem was that this domain did not have a listener for port 80, I added the listener and the authentication run without problem and in consecuense I could renew the certificate for this domain. For me, it is case closed.
As a suggestion, if you can add "Renewal problem" to the topic of the thread maybe helpfull for other people.
