LetsEncrypt Error: “likely firewall problem”

I have been regularly renewing my SSL certificate before expiry by using these commands:



cd /
sudo wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
sudo chmod a+x certbot-auto
sudo ./certbot-auto --debug -v --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory certonly -d fqdn.com


I didn't renew it in time so it expired, and now when I type the last command I get this result:




Domain: fqdn.com



Type: connection



Detail: Fetching http://fqdn.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/...: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)




and says:




All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:



/etc/letsencrypt/live/fqdn.com/fullchain.pem (failure)




When I type the FQDN into https://letsdebug.net, it shows 2 errors:




ANotWorking (ERROR)



fqdn.com has an A (IPv4) record (x.x.x.x) but a request to this address over port 80 did not succeed.



A timeout was experienced while communicating with fqdn.com/x.x.x.x: Get http://fqdn.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/letsdebug-test: context deadline exceeded



Trace:



@0ms: Making a request to http://fqdn.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/letsdebug-test (using initial IP x.x.x.x)



@0ms: Dialing x.x.x.x



@10000ms: Experienced error: context deadline exceeded




and




IssueFromLetsEncrypt (ERROR)



A test authorization for fqdn.com to the Let's Encrypt staging service has revealed issues that may prevent any certificate for this domain being issued.



Fetching http://fqdn.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/...: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)




It's an EC2 instance on AWS. Previously I only enabled port 22 and port 443 (in Security Groups->Inbound) and it was working fine, and now I've tried enabling port 80 but still have the same problem, so I've disabled port 80 again.



How can I diagnose it further and what is causing the problem?



I also want to set up auto-renewal.
