Not sure how much of it you want, but here is a portion of it from yesterday:
Just the part that occurs at the same time as the request that receives an error would have sufficed.
[Sun Dec 17 11:53:56 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: C:/Websites/Weather III/ [Sun Dec 17 11:54:10 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: C:/Websites/ [Sun Dec 17 11:54:30 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: C:/Websites/GNWCA/ [Sun Dec 17 11:54:30 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/Websites/GNWCA/favicon.ico There is no favicon in GNWCA. Everything points to the options directive, but that is copied from the tutorial.
As you say, things are quite clear here. If you make a request for a directory, apache first checks the DirectoryIndex directive for files to search for in that directory (usually index.html). If it can't find any of those files, it will attempt to provide a directory listing. But if you Options directive for that directory doesn't include the "Indexes" option, then you will get a 403 error.
