Everywhere in your menu there is old code that leads to `home.php`

and since you renamed home.php to index.php, that file cannot be found

FIX

Create a .htaccess file inside the htdocs folder

if you already have it  
put this code at the beginning (open/edit with file manager - monstaFTP)

```auto
#Start here
DirectoryIndex home.php

```

so you tell the server what to serve as the starting file (when, for example, someone visits only the domain  
`http://camangles.42web.io/`)

Note - also delete the existing code (line) if it exists and starts with `DirectoryIndex xy xy xy`

then

rename index.php to home.php
