Httpd Configuration -- Accessing a folder

So I have the following situation. My root folder is /var/www/html. If I have a file in there called test and I do a

wget ip-address/test

everything is good. But if I add a folder called bla in html and I do the following 

wget ip-address/bla/test

I get a 500 error. If I just do a 

wget ip-address/bla

I get a 403 permission denied. I tried going into httpd.conf file and added the directory as follows:

<Directory "/var/www/html/bla">
   Options None
   AllowOverride None
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

And that didn't change anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check if the folder 'bla' you added has read permissions for process owner of httpd? Use chmod/chown to create access permissions and try again.

If you want to access a directory listing, you need:

<Directory "/var/www/html/bla">
Options Indexes
...
</Directory>

The directory listing will only work if the "DirectoryIndex" directive is not defined.
