Solved: DirectoryIndex not allowed here

When I tried to run my one of my project on server I got following error on the Browser.:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

When I got above error I opened the error log file.

Error Log File log(#vim /var/log/httpd/error_log)

At the end of file I saw above error.

When I saw that I opened the httpd.conf file and I searched for line.

AllowOverride None

I commented this line.
#AllowOverride None

Then I added following lines to that tag
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Then I saved the httpd.conf file and restarted the apache server.

This solved the my issue.
