  Hi, The domain validation is failing. It is like when you generate SSL from AutoSSL, it first puts in a TXT file in the account and tries to browse it to get the proper response from the TXT file, and when it does not get proper response, it fails.. This particular TXT file is what the certificate issuer also verifies before it issues an SSL.. Check the TXT file that is uploaded in your account in .well-known or .well_know directory or where it is for your account and browse the particular TXT and if you are not able to browse the TXT, make it browseable and then you will get the SSL verified and generated properly..

  The problem is that the TXT file is not generated by the Auto SSL!! When I check the desired path there is no TXT file there!! the folder .well-known/acme-challenge is empty.!!
