Zerossl Verification error

Help

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. https://crt.sh/?q=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: urtechnicalguy.ml

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:profreehost

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):

After uploading the verification file and clicking next it shows the following error:-

Invalid response from http://urtechnicalguy.ml/.well-known/acme-challenge/dUYHANULqi7xZTQGjVcrBBo_atggKuYNRj5I6mlkTGU [185.27.134.252]: “<html><body><script type=“text/javascript” src=”/aes.js" ></script><script>function toNumbers(d){var e=;d.replace(/(…)/g,func"

Your hosting company’s web server is using some software that blocks requests from unusual clients, including Let’s Encrypt’s validation servers.

There are past threads about other web hosts:

You have to get it turned off, or use DNS validation, or use a different hosting company.

Where can I find that software

Hi @Ttttttttttttt

if you want to use http-01 validation, you have to create a file in /.well-known/acme-challenge, Letsencrypt checks that file.

But if you have a shared hosting, your hosting company can block that path. There is a typical script included:

/aes.js

So ask your hoster.

Or check, if you are able to use dns-01 validation:

How can I use DNS Verification

By adding --handle-as dns option to the command line (and --api 2 if you need to issue a s-called “wildcard certificate”). You will need to be able to add TXT records for your domain though. Your domain name seems to be a free one, registered through Freenom, which I believe provides such option. See the support article at https://my.freenom.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=4 and how the issue with setting TXT record has been resolved at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52616455/unable-to-set-txt-record-to-domain-in-freenom-provider
