I'd check a few things: you should probably have one or both of mod_dir
and/or mod_autoindex for this to work.  If you have an index.html file,
you won't get directory indexing.  Do you have htaccess files (requires
"AllowOverride AuthConfig" in httpd.conf <directory> section)?  Apache
searches from the requested directory upwards and uses *all* .htaccess
files that are found (although you'd have to look up how these are
combined/prioritized).

The short version is: this should just work.  When this kind of thing
doesn't work for me, I strip my httpd.conf file to bare bones and add in
minimal features one at a time until the desired behavior is found, then
I add in blocks of the other config until something breaks.

Good luck.  Let us know how you get on.
