Error renewing -- malformed url

I’m trying to renew my certificate, and get the error below. It seems pretty clear that the problem is the malformed verification url - it is missing a / between the domain name and the path. Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks!


Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
cloud.bradstewart.ca

I ran this command:
certbot renew

It produced this output:

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A record(s) for that domain
    contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
    your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
    firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
    client. If you’re using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
    that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

My web server is (include version):
Apache 2.4.25
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Debian linux 9.5
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

Check the Apache configuration for something like “Redirect / https://cloud.bradstewart.ca” and add a “/” at the end.

Wow, that was fast, and you’re bang on. Amazing!

Thank you!
