How can I access a file in my home/folder-name on a Vultr VPS setup?

I have recently setup a Vultr VPS and created a folder inside the /home/ directory named py-bridge, I then try to access a simple .php file with the path: /home/py-bridge/index.php via the Chrome browser.

But I get this returned back to my screen:

The url I am using on browser is:
http://my main-ip/py-bridge/index.php

VPS Information:

OS: CentOS 9 Stream x64

Thanks in advance for your time and effort!

Solution

  • Of course that won't work. That's now how web services work

    You need a web server that can respond to http requests and sends back the file requested [py bridge in your case]

    So either write a proper http server that does this

    or front your php script with nginx and php-fpm and use that
