The ACME server was probably unable to reach http://vps54128.public.cloudvps.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/gUncYjyl_e4C8RVdnA5tVlpVgVxbvy0dZNPikANd23U

Check in a browser to see if the answer file is being served correctly.
Authorize failed: This could be caused by IIS not being setup to handle extensionless static files.Here’s how to fix that:
1.In IIS manager goto Site/ Server->Handler Mappings->View Ordered List
2.Move the StaticFile mapping above the ExtensionlessUrlHandler mappings. (like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/nkvrL.png)
3.If you need to make changes to your web.config file, update the one at xx\web_config.xml

Hi @cornelissenja,

Your server advertises an IPv6 address, 2a02:348:5e:5ad5::1, yet is unreachable at that address. That is why the validation doesn’t complete. You should configure the server to be reachable on the IPv6 address or else remove the AAAA record.
