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.
