Error: Let's Encrypt validation status 400 on hostname or VestaCP hostname

[castris]

Hi.

I've installed a server with Ubuntu 18, nginx

When try update hostname domain with letsencrypt support get

Error: Let's Encrypt validation status 400

my.hostname.com resolve well to server.
Not cloudflare

If use certboot work fine but other issues with mail.

Any ideas?

It can be caused by firewall too: ensure, that ports UDP:53, TCP:80 and TCP:443 are ready to accept incoming connections.

I just installed a fresh Vesta instance and encountered the same error as before. It seems that "www" needs to be added. Please double-check if both "www" and "non-www" are pointing to your IPv4 address.
