    Check the server configuration. Is Apache running, or Nginx? ps aux | grep apache or ps aux | grep nginx... from there go into /etc/nginx or /etc/apache2/conf.d/sites-enabled/ and look at the config files.

  • it is nginx and in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf I found the path to be /var/www/example.com/html where (example.com just for reference) but when I go to the /var/www directory I do not find any folder with .com or the specified folder.

    Try sudo nginx -T | grep root.

    If nginx is a reverse proxy for a backend application, then you need to check that application's configuration. You can search for proxy_pass in nginx configuration to check for reverse proxy configuration.

Reset to default

cd /etc/apache2/sites-available folder and check DocumentRoot on default.conf file . if you are not using default.conf then check other file which is available on /etc/apache2/sites-available folder.

    It has already been established in the comments that apache2 is not even used.

  • ok..I didn't seen the comment. But on nginx you have to follow same procedure.. you need to check any other conf file except default.conf in path /etc/nginx/conf.d/ .

  • I have checked all the conf files but the target specified in them does not exists the web is a next.js app and is running with pm2, is it possible that the example.com folder does not exist and the app is running on cache?
