\n- Root directory<\/strong>. Verify that your web server’s root directory is correctly set and that it contains the necessary validation file for Let’s Encrypt. The validation file should be placed in .well-known\/acme-challenge\/<\/strong> within your root directory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hostname<\/strong>. Make sure the server’s hostname matches the domain for which you are requesting the certificate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>
