Then check that there isn't a more specific DirectoryIndex directive
overriding it.

In a case like this:

    <VirtualHost *>
        DirectoryIndex a.html b.shtml
        DocumentRoot /path/to/somewhere
    </VirtualHost>

    <Directory /path/to/somewhere>
        DirectoryIndex index.html
    </Directory>

The last DirectoryIndex would apply to the doc root of the virtual host,
because it is more specific.

I would suggest putting the GUI tool in the trash can, and edit the
configuration by hand, and specify the directive in the doc root's
<Directory> block instead, which is generally a better idea.

Robert Andersson
