By default, Azure App Service points the root virtual application path / to the root directory of the deployed application files (D:\home\site\wwwroot).

You could provide an optional startup command that will be run as part of container startup.
In Azure portal: select the app's Configuration page, then select General settings.
In the Startup Command field (add name of your startup command file) and then Save.

Example-Laravel, uses the public/ subdirectory as the site root. To customize the site root, you need to set the virtual application path for the app.

The default PHP image for App Service uses Apache, and it doesn't let you customize the site root for your app.
You can add an .htaccess file to your repository root with the following content, shared in this document section -"Change site root"

If the issue still persist, you can also inspect the log files in a browser at https://<app-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/logs/docker -for fetch more details.

Just to isolate, test the app locally in production mode. App Service runs your app in production mode, so you need to make sure that your project works as expected in production mode locally.

Kindly see this section 'Customize build automation' and 'Customize start-up' in this document for the process.

Please let us know how it goes with more details on your PHP framework and app requirement, I'll follow-up with you further.
