The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.?

Question

I have an online Ubuntu VPS (with Plesk already installed), I tried a very simple index.php script in the /var/www/html directory using the IP address of the server in the browser ex. 123.123.123.133/index.php, but the response was always (The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.)

the script was:

<?php
 phpinfo();
?>

I restarted apache2 many times and I tried many of the solutions in the stack overflow but none of them worked for me.

any help with this issue??

Answer 1

Check the directory where Plesk serves its files from. Is that really /var/www/html ? I thought Plesk was using /var/www/vhosts/<domain_name> .
