Hi guys,

I've tried everything I could by reading up but the /.well-known/acme-challenge error is not getting resolved. Here is the output
Error: Fetching http://sciencesation.com/.well-known/ac ... RhhnuO9geM: Timeout
Would appreciate if someone could throw some light on the same. Web directory is owned by www-data and the entire folder is set at 777.

Try enabling Nginx if it isn't already (not on per site by default).

I was trying to work this out for ages, and for some reason, Nginx must be enabled on a site for Let's Encrypt to work.

no idea why, but, the moment I enabled it, it assigned a certificate.

Any mod/dev around to explain this?

I fixed this problem by clearing out my alias field and then requesting for the certificate. After the certificate is obtained the aliases could be added again without any issues.
