is it Index.html or index.html
It does matter.  By default "directory listing" or "directory browsing"
is turned off, so it won;t list the contents.  Unix is case sensative
and it looks for index.html (with it in all lower case) so if it isn;t
there it will give this message.  There is also a place in the config
files that you could just add Index.html to the list.
