I have been trying certbot to issue a certificate, but the challenge keeps failing. I also made a .well-known/acme-challenge available through nginx settings. Nothing seems to be working.
My domain is: posherry.com
I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --nginx -d posherry.com -d www.posherry.com --dry-run --webroot- path /var/www/html
It produced this output:
Failed authorization procedure. posherry.com (http-01): urn:ietf:params:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Invalid response from http://posherry.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/PICPsfGsrWq8aNkpnJ9Ms7Kc_g_UlDWQRbKOjaSCCIw: "<!DOCTYPE html>
