I have never encountered this issue… I am very confused as to why this is occuring. It only happens when I add / to the end of a page. For example: site.com/ and site.com/index work fine but site.com/index/ returns this error page. I have never seen this error page before so I am just not sure what to think. If anyone has any suggestions please tell me!

I was messing with .htaccess but I removed the new stuff and the issue persists =( not sure if that is related at all. I know for sure this did not happen before today.

EDIT: If I add .html to the end of the URL like this: site.com/index.html/ it loads the page fine but without it the error displays. ← (this only works for error page and I didn’t realize, when you do it with any other page it redirects to error page which is why I thought that fixed it while testing from error page) – I tried deleting .htaccess altogether but that caused issues and I tried deleting each part from it one at a time and none of it fixed this specific issue it just caused others. I am not sure what caused this or how to fix it =/

here is what the file looks like:

ErrorDocument 400 https://site.com/error
ErrorDocument 401 https://site.com/error
ErrorDocument 403 https://site.com/error
ErrorDocument 404 https://site.com/error
ErrorDocument 503 https://site.com/error
DirectoryIndex index.html

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} site.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://site.com/$1 [R,L]

AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm

This is how it was before too and there has never been any issues. Just unsure of what happened!

If you do website.com/index/, it thinks you want to go to a folder called index. (so htdocs/index/index.html will be loaded)

You can try turning on errors in the php configuration in cPanel.

Note that enabling display errors through the control panel will only reveal PHP errors, not .htaccess errors.
