my forum forum.meuxbox.com.br  
I created the forum for testing several times, maybe it’s an SSL certificate error?

I installed the forum through this tutorial [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md)

- [DNS Propagation Checker - Global DNS Testing Tool](https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/forum.meuxbox.com.br)

**I get this error, the forum is on VULTR 1GB**

You can’t do that willy nilly. Let’s encrypt limits you to 10 certificates a week, so you will have to wait to use this domains on a new install.

That’s the easy solution. A more complicated solution is to do [Setting up Let’s Encrypt with Multiple Domains](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setting-up-let-s-encrypt-with-multiple-domains/56685) to add another domain to the let’s encrypt request, which will sneak you past the rate limit you hit (since asking for `forum.x.com` and `silly.x.com` is a different request. But it requires some careful changes to your `app.yml` and your DNS config, which is what got you into the trouble that you’re in. If you can wait a week, you can just wait and just rebuild when the time is up.
