I’ve been hestiacp from the start and vesta before that. I have looked and tried all the solutions. and tried like adding the systemd network or resolve i cant remember exactly.

DNS is fine on mail and webmail but i keep getting the error
Error: Let’s Encrypt nonce request status (mail.example.com )

Where are the logs located to try an debug this to see whats going on. I know this has been talked about before but no real solutions.

Thanks This is my first post.

Logs are here /var/log/hestia/LE-YourUser-YourDomain.log

Show the output of this command:

curl --user-agent "HestiaCP" -s -I "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"

The output is as expected; the nonce is there, and Hestia should get it. Did you check the log?

I havent got to the logs yet. I was thinking that box is having issues updating tzdata. the time might be off causing this. Ill report back with my findings. Just incase someone else runs into this.
