Waiting for authorization......Failed! about autoacme HOT 5 CLOSED

You may only request certificate for FQDN, fully qualified domain name, like www.something.com. You're trying to request certificate for one-word intranet name autoacme which is a total nonsense, is not supposed to work and never will.

from autoacme.

This is FQDN?

Yes, this should work. If it does not, then Let's Encrypt can't access the http://www.something.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/probe_699917b8-f51a-494e-98fd-8284977de7d4 URL, but AutoACME can. Maybe it's blocked on firewall or something? For getting cert this way the site must be accessible from the Internet, and it isn't.

I've got it. The problem was the AAAA record in DNS pointing elsewhere.

Thank you for your cooperation in solving the problem.

In next version I'll probably add some helpful message for this situation.
