Hi

I did installed discourse many times. some days i do it a few times.

This time i installed discourse at f.example.LTD

i used servers from [Public Cloud: Cloud solutions and on-demand resources | OVHcloud Worldwide](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/)

DNS cloudflare ( DNS only and `./discourse-setup` finds my `DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME` )

the error

> Discourse version at f.example.LTD: NOT FOUND  
> Discourse version at localhost: NOT FOUND

happened when i kept the IP address and reinstalled the Ubuntu system to start fresh discourse.

So `f.example.LTD` resolves to your current server and you rebuilt?

Have you done many rebuilds so that you’ve hit let’s encrypt rate limits?
