Something wrong - can't order SSL Certificate

[Udbytossen]

Hej Forum.,
I've just reinstalled my Home PVE 9.2.2, when trying to order the new certificate, and can't make the SSL DNS API to work - the error I'm getting on screen is:

And my dnsapi_dnsservice are quit simple iin without quotes around - so what am I doing wrong :

Then I Installed my PBS Server - and the exact issue is on the PBS.

Well i - can someone point me in the right direction for fixing this?

Hi,

From the log, it may be worth verifying where the DNS zone for `webmeup.dk` is actually managed, and whether the API token/credentials used by Proxmox have access to that zone.

Hi there.
My DNS is managed withdns.services - where it have worked fine for some years on my PFsense etc. And It'll have been working earlier just after the reinstallation of my PVE.
Looking in my logfile - I do not get any more information using journalctl -f

As weel as looking in the logfile for the performed tasdk

So hopefully can anyone help m,e - since the system isn't that

usually this a problem with the dns resolver for the api request, try to use the specific dns from wakemeup.dk
or a problem with local dns setup.
