      Hi, I am getting problem while issuing lets encrypt certificate.
      Using Domain SAN list - Standalone HTTP server.
      name.domainname/:Verify error:Invalid response from http://name.domainname/.well-known/acme-challenge/C27R5jTknkrfD3-7gMfiISsDIG3qtluDM_JcI8CEUHI [xxx.xx.xx.xx]: 503
      Note: Above domain name is changed just for example.
      If i go to/tmp/acme/acme_issuecert.log
      “type”: “urn:ietf:params:acme:error:malformed”,
      “detail”: “Unable to update challenge :: authorization must be pending”,
      “status”: 400
      If i hit : http://name.domainname/.well-known/acme-challenge/C27R5jTknkrfD3-7gMfiISsDIG3qtluDM_JcI8CEUHI
      503 Service Unavailable
      No server is available to handle this request.

      My steup is 2 Pfsese with HA with CARP virtual IP.

        then
        503 Service Unavailable

        which means that, when LE contacted on port 80 TCP (a classic http request) the "name.domainname" web server, there was no answer = no web server present ?
        "name.domainname" points to a web server ?

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Thanks !
          First of all i a unable to create certificate via LE giving error 503.
          What would be posible cause and where i have to check. Even i can dns lookup my entry and it resolved correct IP.
          Could i try to use DNS-Amazon Route53 API method instead of standalone HTTP server.

            You have to own = rent "name.domainname".
            You have a A record setup that point to an IP.
            On this IP you should have a web server, that should answer, at least, '80' (http).
