I deleted the vendor and ran the composer update command again but it didn't work I also cleared all Laravel caches, but it was ineffective

in App\Providers\AppServiceProvider in register function I commented these lines of code and it worked

before:

    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
            return realpath(base_path().'/../public_html');
        });
    }

after:

    public function register()
    {
//        $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
//            return realpath(base_path().'/../public_html');
//        });
    }

I think the problem was that Laravel could not find the index.php file

php artisan serve `The provided cwd "" does not exist.` error
