Yup, but DirectoryIndex (or my manually spoecifying index.html)  

ought to

take care of that.

In the bare install, there is nothing in /var/www/html, and

Options -Indexes

forbids to serve directory listing.  So you get the 403, which is the  

"yay I'm using Red Hat" page.

And it's logged in error_log as a 403.  At log level "error", so your  

default catches it.  The fact that you're not seeing that is very,  

very weird.

So what have you changed to your config?  You HAVE changed things:  

for

starters deflate is not on by default.

ServerTokens OS

No, nothing there that leaps out at me.  What's in conf.d/*.conf?
