Thanks, Joshua, apparently that was it. What threw me off was the complaint about permissions - what it really meant was that the file wasn't there. Where would you put the Options directive - in httpd.conf or under the individual directory in httpd-vhosts.conf? And what form does it take?
Hmmm... Did you read the reference I sent above? It doesn't matter in particular where you put it, other than that it must apply to the appropriate <Directory>. Usually it is easiest to find a <Directory> section in your config file that already exists for the relevant area and add Indexes to the Options directive in that section (or add "Options +Indexes" if there is no existing Options directive).
