index.php not loading from ubuntu server VM (nginx & sftp) - php

Question

I'll try to be short as it can get bloated.
I set up an ubuntu server 20.04 VM on an Oracle vbox.
I installed nginx, php7.4, Xdebug 3.
I configured everything properly for remote debugging and sftp ( I use PHPstorm), I forwarded the ports and customized my local hosts file.Everything works except...
when loading HTTP://127.0.0.2 it loads the default nginx landing page.My index.php file is uploaded in the root /var/www/my_domain folder through sftp. I created the server block for my_domain.
Still won't work. I am new to this so I am missing something.
If you need more info please request.
Any help appreciated!
Vhost config ( server block in nginx) - php-projects being my current domain and containing index.php:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/php-projects;
server_name php-projects www.php-projects;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
error_log /var/log/nginx/debug.log debug;
}
Network settings from Vbox:
PS. I have tried :

and
Rewrite rule for the root file in nginx?
with no success.

"I configured everything properly for remote debugging and sftp"
Please post your xdebug configuration.
"when loading HTTP://127.0.0.2"
From where ? Host machine or VM?
"My index.php file is uploaded in the root /var/www/my_domain folder
through sftp."
Please post your nginx vhost configuration
"I created the server block for my_domain"
Where? Post the path to the file where you have done this
