Log for the AutoSSL run for “domain”: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 10:08:33 AM GMT-0500 (cPanel (powered by Sectigo))
10:08:33 AM AutoSSL’s configured provider is “cPanel (powered by Sectigo)”.
This AutoSSL provider does not poll for certificate availability immediately after a certificate request submission. Instead, it submits certificate requests then periodically polls the cPanel Store for each requested certificate and installs it after a successful retrieval. The system will record all requests, retrievals, and installations for the current AutoSSL run in this log.

Hello,

It looks like it goes on to complete the HTTP DCV check - does this complete successfully? What is the final log output for this transaction? This doesn't show any errors related to the DNS or HTTP DCV checks.

The problem with the AutoSSL check is in the error:

Code:
12:50:42 PM Redirection #1 (domain.com): Ridgway Law Group, LLC | → Ridgway Law Group, LLC |
ERROR “cPanel (powered by Sectigo)” forbids DCV HTTP redirections.
You're redirecting from the domain -> another domain and Sectigo will not follow redirects.
