Let’s encrypt failed to test renew --dry-run, because Let’s encrypt try to access mydomain.com/.well_known/ which is doesn’t exist.
My setup :
Ubuntu 08.04 - Nginx - Let’s Encrypt
nginx configuration
server {
root /var/www/mydomain.com/public;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name mydomain.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem; # managed $
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem; # manage$
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = mydomain.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name mydomain.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot

Hi @dhidyawdiyan,
The .well-known folder should automatically be created. If certbot can’t create the folder than most probably, you are not using the proper permissions or ownership on your folders.
I’ll recommend setting up the folders to be with permissions 755 and files with permissions 644. TO do that, you can do the following
For Files
find /path/to/website -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
For Folders
find /path/to/website -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
If you need to change the ownership of your files, you’ll need to use
chown -R User:Group /path/to/website
You’ll need to change the /path/to/website with your actual path to your website. As for the User:Group, you’ll need to change it to the ones you have configured in your Nginx conf(They are usually the same for both user and group).
