SOLVED: Certbot cannot verify domain

Help
#1

My domain is: www.jiinxt.com and jiinxt.com

I ran this command:sudo certbot --apache --staging

It produced this output:
Domain: jiinxt.com
Type: connection
Detail: Fetching

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu 16.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS

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

If I refresh the page quickly while certbot is verifying, I can view the verifications. Even when I go through a proxy to somewhere in germany I can view the verifications. But certbot keeps failing. Any ideas?

jiinxt.com is advertising an AAAA resource record with an IPv6 address, but when connecting to that IPv6 address, no one is answering: i.e., a time out.

You should either fix your IPv6 connectivity or delete the AAAA record from your hostnames.

By the way, your www subdomain doesn’t have an AAAA-record, so that should have worked… Perhaps you deleted it already? :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah. jiinxt.com and www.jiinxt.com had the same AAAA record before.
