Certbot Timeouts


Can someone provide me a checklist of things to have set so certbot can issue me a letsencrypt SSL? I can't get it to verify and it times out.

I can access through the domain name. Both on http and https. So I know the virtual host file is setup correctly. And I know it's not a firewall or dns issue either.

I'm not using a .htaccess folder or anything, just an empty directory with an hello world index.

Directory permissions are set to 777

I can't think of what else to check?


Solution

  • Found the issue to my problem, it wasn't anything configured on the machine but it was an issue with my DNS configuration. I had a A record to my IPv4 address as well as a AAA record to my IPv6 address which was causing issues. The resolution was to get rid of one of them and after that the certification went smoothly.
