can somebody help me out ?

Are you sure that the only thing you change was the default index.html?

If so, does that new index.html has read permissions for everyone?

yeah it has even 777 permission

Then you've changed other things, by only changing the index.html you won't get that error, do you use .htaccess files? did you change something in the httpd.conf or apache2.conf file? did you configure a vhost? Check those configuration files for things like order allow,deny, allow and deny from and <Directory> rules
