How to solve a challenge to authorize my domain for letsencrypt?

I'm trying to authorize my domain for letsencrypt. Previously, a few months ago on a different server, I didn't it, now I do for some reason.

./letsencrypt-auto certonly -a webroot --webroot-path=/home/deployer/pfios -d my_website.com -d www.my_website.com
Failed authorization procedure. my_website.com (http-01): urn:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: The key authorization file from the server did not match this challenge [fdsfs-fdsfdsf.fdsfdsfds333] != [gangnam style!]


Domain: www.my_website.com
   Type:   unauthorized
   Detail: The key authorization file from the server did not match
   this challenge
   [fdsfs-fdsfdsf.fdsfdsfds333]
   != [gangnam style!]

The code for authorization or rather the name of a file is different each time. Where should I actually retrieve it? In this case it's "fdsfs-fdsfdsf.fdsfdsfds"

Check if the AAAA records are configure on the DNS.

Either remove them entirely or make sure that they match with the server ipv6

Check if you have IPV6 redirection configured in your DNS provider. If the redirection does not redirect to your server, remove it.

In my case solved it by running sudo apt-get update and then running the renew command

/usr/bin/letsencrypt renew

Try authorize your domain via standalone webserver from LE. 

./letsencrypt-auto certonly -a standalone -d my_website.com -d www.my_website.com

You must remember - when you generate new cert you must off your main webserver (Apache, nginx, etc.)
