    [QUOTE]Terminal says the urls won't resolve. I notice the hostname is included in the URL. Is that the cause of the error?
    Yes, there are multiple entries associated with your hostname not resolving to your server due to which AutoSSL fails.

    Can I remove the hostname so I have proper URLs?

    Workaround: Add the missing entries associated with your hostname in your DNS zone and you should be fine then.

    This SSL renewal is specifically for the server's hostname, so there wouldn't be a way to workaround that. You'd want to ensure the DNS is properly configured for the hostname so it resolves to your server, and then the SSL will be issued.

    Thanks for the replies. I was able to fix my problem. I'm posting my solution in case someone comes across the same problem. I started receiving emails about the SSL certificates expiring. [quote]The system failed to acquire a signed certificate from the cPanel Store because of the following error: (XID av8ayf) The cPanel Store returned an error (X::TemporarilyUnavailable) in response to the request "POST ssl/certificate/whm-license/90-day": We were unable to process your request. Please try again later.
    My WHM warned my SSL certificates were expiring in 19 days In terminal I ran whmapi1 delete_ssl_vhost host=example.com
    and /usr/local/cpanel/bin/autossl_check --all
    Then wait about 10 minutes because WHM will say the certificates are missing. My site was down during this time. Maybe restarting Apache helps. It looks like the certificates will automatically renew 3 days prior to expiration according to cPanel documentation.
