My domain is: vibecyber.eu
the domain is hosted on a virtual server running CentOS and managed via a Plesk control panel. As automatic renewal suddenly failed, I ran this command: "Renew Existing certificate in Plesk" like I always did, when automatic renewal didn't function! I also checked _acme-challenge text records with mx-toolbox prior reload of cert, however, always receiving DNS record check error! Other domains on the same virtual server are renewed automatically without any problem.
It produced this output:
Could not issue an SSL/TLS certificate for vibecyber.eu
Details: Could not issue a Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificate for vibecyber.eu. Authorization for the domain failed.
Details: Invalid response from https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz-v3/137038782846.
Details: Type: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:dns
Status: 400
Detail: DNS problem: SERVFAIL looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.vibecyber.eu - the domain's nameservers may be malfunctioning
