How would you like to authenticate with the ACME CA?

1: Apache Web Server plugin (apache)
2: Runs an HTTP server locally which serves the necessary validation files under
the /.well-known/acme-challenge/ request path. Suitable if there is no HTTP
server already running. HTTP challenge only (wildcards not supported).
(standalone)
3: Saves the necessary validation files to a .well-known/acme-challenge/
directory within the nominated webroot path. A seperate HTTP server must be
running and serving files from the webroot path. HTTP challenge only (wildcards
not supported). (webroot)

I noticed the timestamp does not match my local time. Correcting before trying again.
Still server issues on your side?
