the server must somehow know which file will serve as the default HOME page for your site

by default, that file is called index, and depending on the language in which it is written, it can be html or php (here on hosting)

if you have a finished website of yours, then check if you have uploaded it to the right place

delete index2.html and I’ll see what you have there

> The setting works most of the time, but not always, depending on the website. Some software, like Laravel, override the server settings for displaying error. In that case, you need to enable debug mode in the software, or check the logs it produces. Fortunately, you found the logs already. I take it you just uploaded the vendor folder from your own computer to your site? Usually this is good enough, but it seems that Laravel specifically wants the development packages to be removed from you…
