I have installed Virtualmin on two different hosts, one is running CentOS and the other is running Ubuntu. These are fresh installs. I install all updates available. Both machines are able to resolve internet addresses. Both machines have no firewall enabled. Both machines are a plain vanilla Virtualmin GPL installation. I am able to create new virtual servers in Virtualmin, to be fair, I have only created one virtual server in each box. The creation process was painless, everything worked. Now I go to Manage SSL Certificate and go to the Let’s Encrypt tab. I leave all parameters at their default settings and click on Request Certificate. This is what I get:

When I go to the directory in question, I can go as far as acme-challenge but I do not see the file the script says it has generated. This is why I think it is unable to download it, the file does not exist, there is nothing to download. It is happening on both boxes.
Am I doing something wrong?
