Requesting SSL and not working

Guys, I have a brand new install of Centos 8, I have tried installing SSL on a domain and it keeps failing, now I have the too many tries error. I’d like to know what’s causing this issue. The DNS for the domain seems to be pointing to the IP Address. If you check the DNS to intrelligentconnect.com you’ll see it pointing to the IP Address. DNS Checker - DNS Propagation Check & DNS Lookup (whatsmydns.net) I also have Certbot installed as well. Here’s the error found in var/log/letsencrypt… Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?. Thanks in advance.

Either your DNS is wrong and not pointing the the right IP, or something is preventing access to the .well-known directory.

Thanks Joe. I created a different Droplet with C 8, and I still keep getting the errors when trying to install SSL. What is it that I’m missing, is there something besides Certbot that needs to be isntalled? I never had these issues with Centos 7… Please advice.

Here are the latest errors:

Certbot wasn’t completely set up. Now it’s working… TY
