Within you Directory tags or options specify Indexes. Should be the same as 1.3.x versions.

You need to add the option "Indexes" to the directory that you want to allow browsing of. You can do this in an htaccess file or httpd.conf

If it is for the DocumentRoot you may need to remove an entry like this from httpd.conf:
<LocationMatch "^/$>
Options -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 /error/noindex.html
</LocationMatch>
