Hey there! Usually there would be another line or two of output that shows the DCV method that was used and how it failed, such as not being able to access the random.txt file name on the system. Do you also get that output?

Thanks for that output. Just to confirm, if you try pinging the hostname does it point to the correct IP on the server?

Yes, IP shows correctly.

Since you have root access, it might be best to submit a ticket to our support team so we can check this directly on the system. If you're able to do that, please post the ticket number here so I can follow along.

Hello. This is also happening in one of our servers. May I know how was corrected or should I open a new ticket?

 

[cPRex]

@did-vmonroig - if you're not able to determine the cause of the issue and the logs aren't clear as to why the DCV check is failing, feel free to open a ticket with our team and then post the ticket number here so I can follow along.

When placing the ticket your system suggested this article:

https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/4406515008023-The-cPanel-Store-returned-an-error-X-Item-Validation-in-response-to-the-request-POST-ssl-certificate-whm-license-90-day-The-provided-dcv-methods-is-invalid

Workaround went good in my server, so no ticket placed. Thanks.

Great - I'm glad that helped!

before this, I had a problem with the license too (Cannot Read License File
To access the interface, you must install the license and ensure that the license is active.)
after I inform the Cpanel support team to unblock the license it looks like the problem (The provided dcv_methods is invalid ) was solved too. thank you for support.
