There is a Directive in apache "DirectoryIndex" the default value for this is index.html , it specifies which file is to served if a request comes for "/" .
apache did not find index.html(please cross check in your httpd.conf if this value is index.html" and returnd 403 status.
You can now do the following.
0) check If your directory is in apache's document base. 1) Create index.html 2) Change the value of DirectoryIndex to the file u want apache to serve. 3) Remove Option Indexes from <Directory "YouDocumentRoot">, this will enable Directory listing and you can choose from the list of files which apache serves.
