This smells of SELinux as Alessio pointed out.

ls -AlZ is usually your friend when it comes to SELinux. The 'Z'
option shows SELinux labels.
I _think_ stuff served by web servers need user unconfined_u and type
httpd_sys_content_t. Maybe something like:
chcon -u unconfined_u -t httpd_sys_content_t <file>

Did you follow post-upgrade tasks detailed at
<https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/>?
One of the steps is to relabel the filesystem.
But I also find you should not serve from your $HOME directory. Move
it to /var or /opt. I believe someone else was asking about a similar
problem recently.
