You must have removed that index.html, and the resultant overlay of the Options statements in your config is that Indexes are forbidden. Note that the default vhost on Ubuntu has a <Directory "/" > block, and the main server config doesn't. I have never heard of Ilias, but you'll find that http://localhost/ilias/ will give you better results.

What are you trying to achieve? The path to the Ilias installation is under the subdirectory, can you get there? Would you rather have that in the root dir? If you want to show content in the root dir, put content in there (you must have removed the default index.html). If you want to have Ilias in the root dir, unzip it there or make the ilias directory your root.
