I am running Wordpress on a CentOS 6.5 server which is behind a router. The private IP is 192.168.0.99, the public URL is X.com (name changed).
I have two virtual hosts in my httpd.conf file. The second one, listed below, is for Wordpress and it is accessed with http://X.com/d4i or http://www.X.com/d4i. They work fine.
Actually, not show, I have more Wordpress virtual hosts, and they are accessed with http://X.com/s1, http://X.com/s2, etc. and they work.
I want the first virtual host to be a default and accessed whenever a user types http://X.com (no sub directory). There is a valid /var/www/html/index.html file.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. The error is "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/wordpress/" and googling didn't help.
I have my httpd.conf and error.log below.
Thank you, Joe

I have about 20+ virtual hosts.
In my Virtual Hosts Apache entries I have
<VirtualHost example.com:80 www.example.com:80>
I never have * as a domain name.
I do not have: ServerAlias
I have: ErrorLog /xxxx/xxxx/err.xxxx
-------------------- My advice is to simplify this
DirectoryIndex Index.html index.html index.php Index.php
Have only index.html and index.php
Good Luck.
--------------------
To solve the OPTIONS problem, you need to find the OPTIONS entries in your Apache configurations files.

I do not understand how you can have multiple 'virtual hosts' all sharing exactly the same domain name and port number.
I have two virtual hosts in my httpd.conf file. The second one, listed below, is for Wordpress and it is accessed with http://X.com/d4i or http://www.X.com/d4i. They work fine.
Actually, not show, I have more Wordpress virtual hosts, and they are accessed with http://X.com/s1, http://X.com/s2, etc. and they work.
My understanding is ONE virtual host = one domain.name
You can have:-
sub-domain1.example.com sub-domain2.example.com
as 2 virtual hosts.

Since the ServerName for your first virtual host is NOT X.com, no one will get to this virtual host unless they specify the IP address associated with X.com, so /var/www/html won't be the DocumentRoot for people attempting to reach X.com.
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName X.com ServerAlias www.X.com DocumentRoot /var/www/wordpress DirectoryIndex Index.html index.html index.php Index.php CustomLog logs/access_log_custom common
</VirtualHost>
Here's the host people will reach via http://X.com/.
My first guess is that the Unix permissions on /var/www/wordpress or the index.php file within it are too restrictive.
My second guess is that the SELinux labels for them might be incorrect.
My third guess is that there's a restriction somewhere in the httpd.conf that you didn't snip for us.
