Should be whereever your httpd.conf file is telling Apache the default document root is.
{/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf}

Try looking in:
/var/www/html/
/var/www

Some installations will have the default 'it works' index.html file, but I have found with CENT this is missing and a custom generated 'branded' index pops up thanks to file '/etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf'.

Not sure if this helps, but it may start you off.

The listing of the directory is down the the 'DirectoryIndexing' feature common to all web servers, and should really be switched off in the http.conf file (most likely /etc/httpd/cond/httpd.conf, or some such, depending on your distribution). Directory Indexing is a legacy from the old days of the Web, when you could trust web users not to go rampaging across your directory structure, seeing what they could break, at the first opportunity you gave them.

You also need an index file in our web server's DirectoryRoot. This is a type of file, that the server will look for, and serve, based on its name, whenever a specific page isn't given by the browser. Typically this is index.html, index.php, or default.html, or some name like that.

Again, this is fully configurable in the httpd.conf file.

What is going on on the Windows box may be more difficult to determine, but try installing a better web browser, and see if you can coax it into giving you a more productive and informative error message.
