    Hello, I received a very similar email message this morning. I have also opened the following CPanel support ticket: Your Support Request ID is: 11836253. I am the domain and site owner. My hosting service uses CPanel version 78. Thank you for your help.

    My hosting provider and CPanel's ticket support resolved my issue. Since I use Cloudflare, I had to pause CF on the particular domain with this issue, run AutoSSL within my domain's CPanel, then resume CF on this domain. It's a little inconvenient that I will have to do this for my domains every 90 days, but oh well... My hosting provider said he thinks that CPanel is working to resolve this issue. Fingers crossed!

    Hello, To update, it looks like this was the result of a non-working AAAA record in the domain's DNS zone. A misconfigured AAAA DNS zone record will cause DCV to fail, even if the domain uses a properly configured IPv4 address. Here's a quote from the

    I also ran into this issue today with a domain that uses Cloudflare. I'm not seeing any AAAA records on the server or in the Cloudflare configuration, so not sure what the fix is?

    Hi @Tearabite, Can you share the specific AutoSSL log output from WHM >> Manage AutoSSL for the affected domain? Ensure to paste the output in CODE tags and replace real domain names and IP addresses with examples. Also, please post the output from the command below: cat /usr/local/cpanel/version
    Thank you.

    Thanks @cPanelMichael We ended up pausing Cloudflare and forcing AutoSSL to renew the certs, so now I have 89 days to prevent it from happening again.. the problem was with the mail.fakeaccount domain. # cat /usr/local/cpanel/version 11.76.0.21 Log for the AutoSSL run for "AfakeAccount": Wednesday, April 3, 2019 1:37:22 PM GMT-0700 (cPanel (powered by Comodo)) 1:37:22 PM AutoSSL"s configured provider is "cPanel (powered by Comodo)". This AutoSSL provider does not poll for certificate availability immediately after a certificate request submission. Instead, it submits certificate requests then periodically polls the cPanel Store for each requested certificate and installs it after a successful retrieval.

    The log output quoted above show that AutoSSL was attempting to connect to an IPv6 address that wasn't reachable. Case CPANEL-25899 fixes this in version 78.0.15: Implemented case CPANEL-25899: Fallback to IPv4 DCV when IPv6 DCV fails for known proxies.
    # cat /usr/local/cpanel/version 11.76.0.21

    Can you verify if the issue persists after updating to cPanel & WHM version 78? Thank you.

    Hi, I am facing the same problem. Is there a fix for this? Auto SSL is not working I removed my site from cloudflare as Pausing cloudflare was not helping too. DNS DCV: The DNS query to "_cpanel-dcv-test-record.example.com" for the DCV challenge returned no "TXT" record that matches the value "_cpanel-dcv-test-record=OeOzLI0jW8SPe5IlzhCV9PxrKF8W8dJXzvaGFQNCAvMRb7wVS4FWgumTkLpzHsYV".; HTTP DCV: The system failed to fetch the DCV (Domain Control Validation) file at " because of an error: The system failed to send an HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) "GET" request to "http:/example.com/.well-known/pki-validation/E6B28F18B8344CD15DCBD56021490262.txt" because of an error: Timed out while waiting for socket to become ready for reading.

    It would be good if cPanel team could resolve this? It used to be great, but now every 90 days we have to "pause cloudflare" proxy settings so that cpanel DCV can run. Is there a permanent solution to this ? Also I always get failures for domains such as these: cpcontacts.example.com cpcalendars.example.com autodiscover.example.com Is there a setting to remove them? I know there is
