## Why does Let's Encrypt wildcard certificate renewal/generation with DNS challenge fail?
If you're trying to renew wildcard certificates, with DNS challenge,
and you're getting errors such as:
```txt
msg="Error renewing certificate from LE: {example.com [*.example.com]}"
providerName=letsencrypt.acme error="error: one or more domains had a problem:
[example.com] acme: error presenting token: gandiv5: unexpected authZone example.com. for fqdn example.com."
```
then it could be due to `CNAME` support.
In which case, you should make sure your infrastructure is properly set up for a
`DNS` challenge that does not rely on `CNAME`, and you should try disabling `CNAME` support with:
```bash
LEGO_DISABLE_CNAME_SUPPORT=true
```

but there are a few cases where they can be [problematic](../../getting-started/faq/#why-does-lets-encrypt-wildcard-certificate-renewalgeneration-with-dns-challenge-fail).
If needed, `CNAME` support can be disabled with the following environment variable:
```bash
LEGO_DISABLE_CNAME_SUPPORT=true
```
