Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: asankai.info

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/asankai.info/public_html/ -d asankai.info -d www.asankai.info

It produced this output:Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Requesting a certificate for asankai.info and www.asankai.info

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: asankai.info
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 45.32.118.237: Invalid response from http://asankai.info/.well-known/acme-challenge/8hRcXpRdIwyfMt62fnXERjKMPVM1FoYMNJnp-hWcYTQ: 404

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.

Welcome @Asanka

Would you please show the server block that handles that domain? There looks to be a mismatch between the root statement folder in the server block and the Webroot path on your command
