The following errors were reported by the server:

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.in to 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.
Regards, Bobby
I have the same problem. I have added the cname but I’m getting same error
