that means your indexes is turned on in apache conf...and index.php is not listed in directoryindex directive...

check those two directives..

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current...directoryindex

Yep apache defaults its search index. You need to add index.php in there to get it to start. You set this in the httpd.conf file. Usally in etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. It is a ways down where you add it. Be sure to restart apache after you have made changes in there.

It is also a wise idea to turn indexing off on a production apache server. Please look into the above mentioned link and turn off the indexing for security reasons.
