Asked by adminc0896a19f288768a7a44d
We have pointed the domain puremilk.co.in(godaddy) to our subdomain “Smartmilk” on digital ocean (159.89.171.131). Respective A and CNAME records are addred and “Smartmilk.puremilk.co.in” is accessible. But facing error while installing the SSL certificate.
The following errors were reported by the server:
Domain: www.smartmilk.puremilk.co.in Type: None Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for www.smartmilk.puremilk.co.in - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

Hello,
As far as I can see you do not have a CNAME record for your www version:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/dns
What you would need to do is to add a CNAME record for
www.smartmilk.puremilk.co.into point to your non-www version:smartmilk.puremilk.co.in.That way Let’s Encrypt will be able to validate your www version too and issue a certificate for you.
Let me know how it goes.
