Help

I was trying to renew the certificate that expires tomorrow. I got an error with

Failed authorization procedure. catalyst.immpl.com (http-01): urn:acme:error:connection :: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: Could not connect to domain.com. Skipping.

I tried few times to check what is wrong and now I am getting rate limit error. What is the rate limit for failed renewals? Anxious because the certificate is expiring tomorrow.

please help. Details below.

My operating system is (include version): Ubuntu Trusty

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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): No

It's not long. :slight_smile:

We recently (April 2017) introduced a Failed Validation limit of 5 failures per account, per hostname, per hour. This limit will be higher on staging so you can use staging to debug connectivity problems.
