It produced this output when trying to get an SSL for my domain

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: webroot). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: [beqwizzapp0 dot com](ttp://beqwizzapp01 dot com/)
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 15.197.148.33: Invalid response from ttp://beqwizzapp01 dot com/.well-known/acme-challenge/t8yOPF2WRSO-fhQR2abMPyCrUhJDDtUvJgNF08a7G84: 404

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to download the temporary challenge files created by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains serve their content from the provided --webroot-path/-w and that files created there can be downloaded from the internet.

Some challenges have failed.

Did you read the error? It’s telling you the problem.

The .well-known path cannot be reached. You either have some sort of proxy or redirect rules that prevent Let’s Encrypt from verifying your domain.

GoDaddy tells me that domain is for sale if I replace the dot with ‘.’ .

Well thank you. When i post the question it said only two links where allowed in the post so in order for my question to be posted I had change the “.com” to “dot com”

5

So how to i figure out how to solve that?

Did you change anything else or is this the domain in question?

The domain beqwizzapp01.com is registered, but may still be available.
