   To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
   entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
   contain(s) the right IP address.

 

I have the Domain from Namecheap & I use google cloud DNS.

what is the Problem? I have only interest in ipv4 so no AAAA record;

also, my ufw is disabled (like all google VMs)

should I reconfig my DNS?

I encountered this error when trying to set up SSL for an application running in a DigitalOcean droplet.

When I run the command:

sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com

I get the error:

No valid IP addresses found for www.example.com

OR

During secondary validation: No valid IP addresses found for www.example.com

Here's how I solved it:

Confirm that you have an A record pointing to your server’s public/floating/elastic/static IP address for the domain names that you are having issues with.

A record screenshot

Say you want to obtain a certificate for example.com and www.example.com, ensure that they both have an A record pointing to your server’s public/floating/elastic/static IP address.

If you confirm that they are correctly set and you're still having the errors, then give it sometime, say, 30 mins to 1 hour and then try again, or better still run the certificate generation for the eligible domains, say :

sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com

once it becomes successful, run it again with all the domains you want to use to expand/modify it:

sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com

Resources: No valid IP address found for domain when trying to get SSL certificate?

That's all.

I hope this helps
