Error log – how to fix – No matching DirectoryIndex found

I am repeatedly see an error in the error log which cause short downtime bursts:

[Thu Oct 14 11:56:27.114757 2021] [autoindex:error] [pid :tid ] [client :] : Cannot serve directory /home/61164994.cloudwaysapps.com/fdfgddffg/public_html/wp-admin/css/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,default.php,index.html,default.html) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

I have seen on another thread here where the directory was the uploads directly and they advised to upload an empty index.html. I just tried that, uploading to the css directory, seems to be ok, and not bringing up the error any more, but I’m not sure if it is a good idea to add files to the core WP directory. Perhaps there is a better solution?

Thanks!
