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.

You don't specify Options Indexes for <Directory "/var/www">, so you're working
with whatever the server default is.

Options, or lack thereof which means you're working with whatever is the server
default.

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.

Hi Sander thanks for your message I reached there you are correct.
The correct configuration should be as follows
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
but do let me know why did this configuration work I copied it from an existing
working configuration.
