/error Directory is not accessible

In my document root I have created a directory named error and some files inside it. Whenever I try to access localhost/error, I get 403 forbidden error. There is an unanswered question about the exact same problem. The error log for the error is as following

[Sun Aug 19 09:00:52.317995 2018] [autoindex:error] [pid 3536:tid 1592] [client ::1:61437] AH01276: Cannot serve directory F:/xampp/apache/error/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.php,index.pl,index.cgi,index.asp,index.shtml,index.html,index.htm,default.php,default.pl,default.cgi,default.asp,default.shtml,default.html,default.htm,home.php,home.pl,home.cgi,home.asp,home.shtml,home.html,home.htm) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

After seeing the log I came to know that the /error directory is appended to ServerRoot (F:/xampp/apache) instead of DocumentRoot (F:/xampp/htdocs). Apache is doing the above only for /error. It is working as expexted for other directories. Can someone tell me the reason and source of this problem?

Try changing the permission on the directory using chmod -R 777. I was facing the same issue and this worked for me
