Renewing certificate getting error: Problem binding to port 80: Could not bind to IPv4 or IPv6

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: nttdata.westeurope.cloudapp.azure.com

I ran this command: certbot renew

It produced this output:`Saving debug log to C:\Certbot\log\letsencrypt.log

My web server is (include version): IIS

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Windows Server 2019

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Microsoft Azure

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):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):1.8.0

Hi Guys,

I wanted to renew my Certificate. But it's showing me this Error:

" Problem binding to port 80: Could not bind to IPv4 or IPv6."

The Site is reachable via Port 80. I have no Idea where the problem can be. Maybe anybody of you have a Idea.

Thanks and Regards,
Aftab

Hi @ager24

there

is your reason.

Please read how --standalone works.

https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html

and switch to another authenticator or stop your webserver.

Okay Thanks, I got it. I am only wondering why it has been created the first time. At that time I had the Webserver in Place too.

Thank You for your Help.
