Try 755: rwxr-xr-x

Also try changing the Options line to

    Options Indexes FollowSymlinks MultiViews Indexes

If that works, then probably you're just missing an index.html or whatever.
You can create one, and make sure mod_dir is loaded and you have a directive
like

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm

Finally, do you have a

NameVirtualHost XX.X.XXX.XXX
or
NameVirtualHost *

in your config?
