Look for "DirectoryIndex" command in your apache config.
Typically, it looks like:

DirectoryIndex index.html

Change it to:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

...so Apache will first try index.html; if there is no such file it gives index.php. If even that isn't found, Apache returns either 403 Access Denied or prints the index of the directory.
