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. Additionally, please check that
your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no

client. If you're using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.
