Solved.  
I simply removed index.html file and index.nginx-debian.html file in /var/www/html, and I removed apache2 and nginx. Now my Discourse forum runs again.

Probably I installed apache2 and nginx months ago trying to host more discourse forums on one server. And when my hosting service stopped my server something was reset as you said…
