My domain is: priyaexclusives.com

I ran this command: Lets Encrypt Request Certificate

It produced this output:
Requesting a certificate for priyaexclusives.com , www.priyaexclusives.com from Let’s Encrypt …

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Is there a way to completley do a fresh new SSL request? delete all the certificates keys etc and start fresh? I have done this before but forgot how to do this
maybe that will help instad of trying to renew the old expired certificates

PLEASE HELP
Thanks

That won’t do anything useful.

You aren’t allowing access to the .well-known directory, so validation can’t work. You must allow access to .well-known. If you have any proxy rules or redirect rules setup for a web app, or whatever, they must exclude .well-known

Thanks Joe
Had to find a way to allow access and it
Worked fine…
You’re the BEST!
Thanks again
