I searched a lot and tried a lot of solutions, but no solution, does anyone know how to solve it?

That is almost certainly not the correct folder for the webroot path.

It should be the root folder where your server gets files. For nginx it is the root folder value for the matching server. For Apache it is the DocumentRoot folder for the VirtualHost.

If you are using some other server check its docs to learn its root folder.
