 Do you know how you came to have that module disabled? Do you remember
 if you disabled it as an admin?

I can't imagine why I would have done so.

 Can you check for apache related package you installed that would
 disable that mod_dir or at least post the list of apache/php related
 packages you are using?

# deborphan apache2
apache2
  libapache2-mod-php5
  phppgadmin
  phppgadmin
  analog
  analog
  info2www
  info2www
  javascript-common
  javascript-common
  man2html
  man2html

(I don't know why deborphan sometimes repeats items.)

As for php, phppgadmin is the only thing that needs it.

 Can you give us an history of that server? I mean: Was it installed as
 a Wheezy (Debian 7) then upgraded?

That is almost certainly what happened, which would mean that the
installation started off as Apache-2.2, and was then upgraded to
Apache-2.4 .

Just now, I tried purging all the Apache packages, and then reinstalling
them. mod_dir is now enabled by default, so the problem has not
reappeared. Apart from the above, I don't know how it could have arisen.

HOWEVER: phppgadmin still doesn't work. The README.Debian file advises
that The application is available at http://localhost/phppgadmin/ after
installation. This is not so. From the access log:

::1 - - [02/Mar/2015:05:00:57 -0800] GET /phppgadmin/ HTTP/1.1 404 501 -

Oddly, the Apache configuration file goes into
/etc/apache2/conf.d/phppgadmin, instead of
/etc/apache2/conf-{available,enabled}, like everything else. It does say
Alias /phppgadmin /usr/share/phppgadmin, but a2enconf doesn't know
about it. Is that how it's supposed to be? If so, why doesn't it work?

Bug#779544: phppgadmin: apache config needs mod_dir enabled

[Ian Bruce]

Package: phppgadmin
Version: 5.1-1.1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Installing phppgadmin breaks the Apache webserver:

failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for
details.

It appears that mod_dir needs to be enabled:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex

You could do this manually, but shouldn't it happen automatically?
