Title: Certbot Failed to Authenticate Domain Despite Correct A and AAAA Records

Post:

Hello Let's Encrypt community,

I am trying to obtain an SSL certificate for my domain atonixcorp.com using Certbot, but I keep encountering authentication failures. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Error Message:

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
  Domain: atonixcorp.com
  Type:   dns
  Detail: no valid A records found for atonixcorp.com; no valid AAAA records found for atonixcorp.com

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to download the temporary challenge files created by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains serve their content from the provided --webroot-path/-w and that files created there can be downloaded from the internet.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

Verified that the A and AAAA records are correctly set up and pointing to the correct IP address of my server.

Checked my Apache configuration to ensure the domain is correctly set up.

Made sure the firewall is not blocking access to ports 80 and 443.

Despite these steps, the Certificate Authority still reports that there are no valid A or AAAA records for my domain.

Any insights or additional steps I should take to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

www.atonixcorp.com points to an internal IP address in the 192.168.x.x range and the apex domain atonixcorp.com doesn't currently point to an IP address at all.

You need to point these to your servers public IP address so the CA can check your domain using HTTP.
