Hi camaran,

IF the manual nginx shutdown didn't work for you, pls. make sure, that for example "watchdog" isn't restarting nginx automatically in the background. You can always check the status of a service with the command "service servicename status", so pls. check first, if the nginx webserver is really stopped during the creation procedure.

You should consider to post log - files from Let's encrypt, in case of any issues/problems/failures, which are located at "/opt/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/logs". In addition, it would help as well to see log - files from apache and/or nginx for investigations ( pls. note that domain - specific webserver logs are located at: "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/logs" ).
 
Hi camaran,

my fault... I didn't have a closer look at your first stated error message:

Code:
Domain: adv.chatme.im
Type:   unauthorized
Detail: Invalid response from http://adv.chatme.im/.well-known/acme-challenge/uTl_3ENhNAUMBltNAwhc47My02j2GgKpwsEKAADu_bk: "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>

As you can see, the file "uTl_3ENhNAUMBltNAwhc47My02j2GgKpwsEKAADu_bk" was not being served; instead the client received the "403" error - page. There are two possible causes:

Either the hosting provider is blocking the request for the IP or domain "https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org" ( 23.56.116.37 ), or for example "mod_security" is your root cause. Pls. check your log - files and ask as well your hosting provider, if they block some domain by default.
