If you use domain forwarding with Apache, there is a bug for renewing the LetsEncrypt certificates.

Symptoms:
The Forwarding hosting type is set for the domain in Plesk > Domains > example.com > Hosting & DNS tab > Hosting Settings and when trying to issue a Let's Encrypt certificate in Domains > example.com > SSL/TLS Certificates, an error that is similar to the following is shown:

CONFIG_TEXT:Could not issue a Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificate for example.com.
The authorization token is not available at http://example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/vjcxCwV74PbWUvnMTT2o5MeWP8z0rg054SP_IfIYfXg.
To resolve the issue, make sure that the token file can be downloaded via the above URL.

Hello, @B3 Support . We have a registered bug with ID EXTLETSENC-920 for the ability to secure domains with "Forwarding" hosting type without Nginx. At this point, I cannot provide an ETA on when a fix will be introduced. You can monitor the change log here.
