I was about to post back when I discovered what the problem was. My httpd.conf looked like this
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
instead of this:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>
Updating it resolved the issue.
I suppose talking about the problem helped me find the solution.
Thanks anyway.
