How to Troubleshoot a cPanel Website That Shows the Wrong Default Document

The server may select a different index file or inherited directory configuration than the application expects.

Checks to make

Inspect document root contents, directory index settings, .htaccess rules, and domain mapping. Compare the requested host and path with the served file, then test the intended application entry point without deleting other index files blindly.
