Did you check your Apache 'http.conf' config file for the
'DirectoryIndex' option as mentioned before in this thread.

You need to add 'index.php' to the end of the 'DirectoryIndex' option.
Once this is added when you load a subdirectory in a browser. apache
will search for that file and if it finds it will load it as the first
page.

Example from my http.config file:

#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
# The index.html.var file (a type-map) is used to deliver content-
# negotiated documents. The MultiViews Option can be used for the
# same purpose, but it is much slower.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
